Medford school board rejects motion to cap family sports fees at $150
Summary
The Medford Area Public School District Board voted down a motion to reduce the maximum family sports fee to $150; the minutes record the motion failing 6–2 and also include a roll-call transcription error that duplicates one member’s name in both lists.
The Medford Area Public School District Board of Education voted on Feb. 21 on a proposal to limit a family’s maximum out-of-pocket sports fee to $150 and rejected the change.
Board members discussed current student fees before the motion (moved by Don Everhard and seconded by Aemus Balsis) was put to a roll-call vote. The minutes record the motion as failing 6–2.
The meeting minutes list Aemus Balsis and Don Everhard as voting yes and indicate the remaining members voted no. The same minutes text also contains an apparent duplication error that places Don Everhard in both the yes and no lists; the board record nevertheless reports the final result as a 6–2 defeat for the motion.
No formal amendment or follow-up direction was recorded. The board moved on to other budget- and policy-related items on the agenda.
