[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3092434, member: 7900"] Oh, now that is opening a can of worms. So many out there would take just about any cut in spending for education before EVER taking a cut or athletics. When I was on the school board in the '80's, my first year the state mandated that about every school had to cut their expenses by about $60,000, which was a pretty good chunk in our total budget. We had a superintendent that was a coach, a principal that was a coach, and we had a coach. They wanted to cut the music teacher's position, and so I suggested that we cut the coach and let either the superintendent or principal do the coaching. At least one of the other 4 board members stated that he would NEVER vote for cutting anything related to the sports programs. The music program went away. [/QUOTE]
