Board hears final winter sports cost and revenue report; wrestling travel cost tops $16,500
Summary
Administration reported winter‑sports travel and activity‑fee outcomes: middle‑school basketball travel cost $2,317 and was recouped by a $100 activity fee; wrestling travel and lodging totaled $16,580.85 with roughly $1,600 recouped; basketball and cheer finished modestly positive after fees were counted.
The board reviewed final winter sports travel and activity fee numbers during the district's old‑business report.
Speaker 2 reported middle‑school basketball travel costs were $2,317 and were fully recouped by the $100 activity fee charged to participating students. "Wrestling, the final cost for travel, food, lodging, busing, driving the vans, etcetera, was $16,580.85," the superintendent said, noting the district had recouped about $1,600 of that through fees. After accounting for activity fees, basketball had roughly $3,000 in positive position and cheer about $1,000 in positive position, but those figures did not include coaching costs.
Officials said the district is in a better position than in the prior year regarding travel expenses but emphasized that activity fees are intended to cover travel only and do not pay for coaches. The finance details were presented for board review and there were no amendments or additional funding requests recorded at the meeting.
