Cut athletics and you cut a ton of kids reason to work hard in the classroom. I can't tell you how many kids I have taught/coached that graduated hs with a good education because they had to in order to play ball.
Districts do build nice athletic facilities on bonds....bonds that communities choose to support.
With all the doom and gloom with the entire state budget, I always wonder where all of our tax money goes. My property taxes have not gone down. I am spending more each year thus sales tax collections haven't gone down. Lots of folks I know say the same thing. So where does the money go?
