Don't get carried away here. Athletics is not a large percent of the schools budget, very miniscule(1.3%). Doing away with athletics does not improve a schools position with a budget. They may make cuts, and trim budgets, but doing away with all extra curricular activities is neither beneficial for budgets or for kids. There is very little improvement in a schools districts budget situation. I read the paper this morning, and I feel that over the next few weeks we will see many more articles mentioning cutting this program or that program. I honestly think that we will have to pay more taxes and the schools will lose instructors.
