Finance Issues Facing High School Athletics
Even After Recession, School Districts
Consider Eliminating Sports
• “Eliminating freshman sports could
save the district $1 million,
eliminating junior varsity sports
would save $2.1 million, and
eliminating varsity sports would save
$5.2 million.”
• “Removing the athletic trainer
allocated to each high school could
save $2.2 million, while removing
the 0.5 assistant activities director
positions at each high school would
save $700,000.”
Funding High School Athletics
Programs
• “Revenues are falling from lower
allocations from government
coffers, reduced sponsorships,
and declining gate receipts.”
• “Will the pay-to-play model, the
increased reliance on
sponsorships, and fundraising
help fill the void left by the
shrinking budgets?”
Pay-to-Play Model and Equity
“….because low-
income families are
more often than not
synonymous with
racial minorities, the
pay-to-play model
simultaneously
creates ineequities
among low-income
families and racial
minorities.”
“The elimination of
the pay-to-play
model from a
district’s method
of funding
extracurricular
activities is an
important step
towards ensuring
that every
American student
is offered a
qualitatively equal
education.”
