Pay-to-play fees will increase
for Madras High School athletes
next year after a decision by the
school board.
The fees have increased from
$50 to $65 per sport. The indi­
vidual and family limit has in­
creased from $300 to $350.
S tudents w ho receive free
and reduced lunches will still be
granted waivers due to financial
need.
While it was suggested that
those students be charged a re­
duced sports fee, coaches said
current athletes w ould be u n ­
able to p a rtic ip a te in th e ir
sports.
According to interim super­
intendent Kay Baker, 49 percent
o f student athletes receive fee
waivers.
This year $14,750 was col­
lected in pay-to-play fees, while
$14,270 was collected during the
2006-07 academic year.
T h e 509-J d istric t sch o o l
board also approved next year’s
coaching assignments.
Two assistant coaches were
cut at Madras High School, and
seven assistant coaching posi­
tio n s w ere e lim in a te d at
J e f fe rs o n C o u n ty M iddle
School.
These reductions are part o f
the cuts being made due to the
school district’s $3.1 million bud­
get deficit.
