After partner pulls out, Pawnee City likely to drop golf program for next year
Loading...
Summary
Administrators told the board a partner district discontinued its girls' golf co‑op and cited low projected interest (two students) and lack of local course/coach as reasons the district is leaning toward discontinuing golf next spring.
Administrators told the Pawnee City Public Schools Board that a partner district (HTRS) plans to discontinue girls' golf and move toward cross country, and that change prompted HTRS to drop the cooperative boys' golf arrangement as well. With only two local students showing potential interest for golf next year and no local course or coach capacity, S1 said the district is "probably leaning toward not continuing to offer golf as an option for kids" next spring.
S1 described the logistical and financial challenge of running a program for only two students, noting the expense of maintaining a program when participation numbers are so low. Board members heard the update as an informational item and no formal vote was recorded to end the program at the meeting; staff said they would accept feedback and continue to evaluate options.
The board did not take a formal vote to eliminate the program at the meeting; administrators presented the likely outcome as a staffing and participation decision driven by partner district changes and low local interest.
