: : I heard on the news where a school in the Pittsburgh area wants to charge students who plays sports a $20.00 a year fee. If it passes there, how long do you think it would take the members of the Armstrong School Distrct to pass the same thing here?
: We already do that here and have for years, unless something has changed since I had kids in athletics. It is not an uncommon thing. There are a lot of costs involved in having sports programs.
I know Armstrong used to charge a little for a physical but if you read the USA today article Clevelander posted , some schools are paying over $500 and paying for National Honor Society and clubs etc. I don't think that would go over too big here but you never know about the school board, they are famous for selling pigs in a poke.
