Board reviews fall athletics numbers; several programs finished in the red
Summary
Board heard updated fall athletics figures showing deficits in several programs (volleyball -$9,777; football roughly -$1,355 with coaching fees excluded), and administrators explained which costs were included and that an activity fee of $100 per athlete per season offsets some expenses.
Administrators presented revised fall sports finances showing mixed results: volleyball finished the season at a deficit of $9,777; football showed a deficit between about $1,355 and $1,693 depending on whether coaching wages were included; middle‑school volleyball and other programs also showed negative balances. Officials said the reported figures include referees, travel, food and miscellaneous expenses but that coaching wages were sometimes excluded from that summary, which affects final totals.
Board members discussed the timing of review and noted the district recaptured roughly $2,000 of volleyball losses through athletic fees. The superintendent said activity fee revenue is currently $100 per athlete per season and that the district will continue monitoring Harlow's invoices and monthly reports to refine final costs.
