Board hears fall roster totals and raises concerns about activity‑fee participation
Summary
Officials reported 140 fall athletes across programs and noted that 100 have self‑paid activity fees while only a handful used scholarship or crowdfunding; staff were surprised by low uptake in summer fundraising that could have covered fees.
The board received a fall athletics update reporting 140 total athletes across programs. "We have nine in high school Cheer, 11 in Cross Country, 26 in high school football, 29 in high school volleyball, 32 in Middle School football, 33 in Middle School volleyball," the report said, and listed student co‑op participation from Cardwell, Harrison, Willow Creek and homeschool programs.
On activity fees, the board was told that about 100 of the 140 athletes had self‑paid. Six students were paid for using a community scholarship program and four used crowdfunding; staff noted many students had until Friday to pay and that summertime fundraising opportunities saw unexpectedly low participation. Officials said the district will continue outreach about crowdfunding and scholarship options.
