Board weighs waiving senior admission fees for home games; ASB revenue impact cited
Summary
Trustees discussed a proposal to allow community seniors (62+) free admission to home games; athletic director Matt Cooke said the league currently does not waive fees and senior passes generate roughly $700–$1,000 annually for the ASB fund. Board requested follow-up after staff consult the league.
The La Center School District board discussed whether to waive admission fees for community seniors (age 62+) at home athletic contests during the Dec. 17 meeting. Currently, seniors pay $25 per year for an annual pass that admits them to home games; Director of Athletics Matt Cooke told trustees that the league has chosen not to waive fees but that he can approach the league to ask if they will consider a change.
Trustees noted the fiscal impact: senior passes currently generate an estimated $700–$1,000 per year for the ASB fund. The board asked Mr. Cooke to consult with the league and return with a recommendation or status report at a future meeting. Trustees described the potential waiver as a gesture to senior community members who may be on fixed incomes.
