Board reviews extra-curricular finances; activities operate at significant deficit
Summary
District officials reported estimated extra-curricular costs of $495,054.50 against revenues of $88,474, yielding a net deficit of $-370,580.50; boosters and other supports were cited as necessary to cover shortfalls.
District administration presented a summary of extra-curricular program finances and told the board the activities budget runs at a substantial deficit.
Dr. Becky Schuchman reported estimated extra-curricular expenditures of about $495,054.50 and revenues (gate receipts, activity fees, vendor contracts) of $88,474, resulting in a net loss of $-370,580.50. She noted that booster organizations often cover items such as uniforms, equipment and supplies and that other costs—custodial overtime and Saturday events—are not included in the calculated figure.
The board did not vote on new fees or changes to activities funding at the meeting; administrators said the activities/extra-curricular committee will continue policy review after the holidays. The report frames a recurring funding question the district will need to address through budget planning, booster support, or alternate revenue sources.
