Board hears athletic finance update as officials weigh travel costs
Summary
Officials said removing family passes has improved gate revenue enough to begin paying referees, but one outstanding vendor bill (Harlow's) means the district will know travel-cost coverage at the next meeting.
Board members discussed fall athletic finances and whether home-game revenue can cover travel for away contests. A presenter said the athletic expense report is incomplete because the district has not yet received the Harlow's bill for travel; once that bill arrives, the board expects a clearer picture at the next meeting.
The presenter noted a recent policy change to remove family passes and said that change has helped cover referee costs. "Because we have done away with the family passes, we're now actually able to pay for our refs," they said, adding that many games still break even or produce only modest surpluses, and one football game produced $432 in revenue that contributed to travel overages. The board agreed to revisit the financial update at the next meeting when outstanding invoices are available.
