Board hears athletic revenue update; removal of family passes helped cover referee costs
Summary
In the athletic report, district staff said removing family passes increased gate revenue and allowed the district to pay referees and cover some home-game expenses, though travel bills (Harlow's) are still outstanding and may affect net results.
The board revisited fall athletic revenue and expense figures and was told the finance document is incomplete pending a travel bill from Harlow's. The presenter noted that after removing family passes, gate revenue has improved; "because we have done away with the family passes, we're now actually able to pay for our refs," she said.
The presenter cautioned that while many games are now in the black and one football game netted about $432, the district remains uncertain whether home-game revenues will fully cover travel costs once outstanding bills are posted. She said the ledger will be updated and the board will revisit the numbers at the next meeting.
