PBP reports:
[Broward] School Board members are considering the elimination of several sports - golf, tennis, water polo and boys' volleyball in high schools, and volleyball, softball and swimming in middle schools - to help cut $55 million from school budgets next year...Interestingly, football funding isn't being affected because it is, "the only revenue-generating sport they have", according to Scott Fiske, Western High School's principal. That may be the case, but couldn't they centralize the sporting events into regional venues instead of the School District needing to fund a field (plus lights, stands, etc.) at every school? What percentage of the budget would that represent?
The suggested reductions were part of proposed budget cuts at the county's middle and high schools given to the board on Monday. The total cuts represent 4 percent of school budget...
