District athletics spending reviewed; cross‑country coop approved
Summary
The board reviewed athletics spending totaling $201,606.32 for the prior year, discussed what the budget included (salaries, officials’ fees, uniforms), and approved a multi‑year boys and girls cross‑country coop agreement for 2026–28.
Board members at the Sept. 8 meeting reviewed a district athletics expenses report and approved a cooperative agreement for boys and girls cross country.
Staff member (speaker 6) presented the athletics overview and said the overall total for athletics last year was "$201,606.32." The presentation broke expenses into salaries and benefits, purchase services (including officials’ fees), supplies and noncapital equipment (including uniforms), and fees paid to other schools for meets; the presenter said co-op revenues and limited gate fees offset some costs. Board members asked whether transportation and the athletic trainer were included; the presenter said transportation costs were not included and the trainer is funded from a separate budget.
The board also voted to approve the cooperative agreement for boys and girls cross country covering 2026–28, with members noting there were no substantive changes to the agreement. The board approved the coop by voice vote.
Board members asked for clarifications about where certain costs (for example, middle-school officials or AD salary) appear in the budget, and staff said they would follow up with more detailed line-item information if requested.
