District proposes $10 increase to sports performance fees; out‑of‑season training to move to $70
Summary
District staff recommended increasing the maximum sports performance training fee by $10 to address rising costs from contracted performance trainers; out‑of‑season fee would increase to $70. The recommendation was presented for board consideration, with no vote recorded at the March 6 meeting.
A district staff member identified as Dave presented a recommended adjustment to the district’s student fee schedule at the March 6 meeting, asking the board to increase the maximum fee for sports performance training by $10 to cover rising costs the district said are being passed along by contracted providers.
Dave said Rich Hall of IH Sports had discussed financial pressure and cost increases with district staff and their athletic directors. He described in‑season training as part of a fifth‑hour class where one or two professional trainers support conditioning alongside coaches, and out‑of‑season training as a voluntary after‑school program. "We're asking that we, add 10 extra dollars to that overall fee," Dave said. He added that the out‑of‑season fee would increase to $70.
A board member asked about session frequency; Dave said in‑season training occurs daily throughout a trimester and the per‑session cost works out to a little less than $2 per day under the proposed rate. The recommendation was presented as an adjustment to the fee schedule; no formal motion or vote was recorded during the meeting.
The presenters noted the increase was aimed at maintaining contracted trainer services while limiting the district’s direct subsidy. The item was informational and staff said they would follow the board’s direction on adopting the fee change.
