Board hears interest in flag football but says program not budgeted for FY27
Summary
Board members discussed growing interest in flag football at middle and high schools but said the current proposed budget does not include funding; first-year costs and logistics (referees, field time) would be considered later.
A board member asked whether the district had included flag football for high schools in the FY27 budget. Staff and other board members said interest is growing — particularly at Great Mills High School and in middle schools — but that the current proposed budget does not include a new high-school flag football program.
"It is not in this budget," a board member said. Staff noted logistical issues, including referees, field time and timing, and said first-year costs would be considered at the end of the year if the program moves forward.
No budget change or formal direction was taken during the work session.
