Athletics at the high schools cost $1,369.325. Through user fees, the district receives $222,562. This leaves the total cost at $1,146.763. Middle school expenditures for athletics total $187,512. User fees cover $3,814, leaving the total cost at middle schools at $183,698.58. The total for middle and high school is $1.3 million. The argument to reduce sports is contrasted by those that argue that sports are essential to the school experience and help reduce the dropout rate.
