Why do we need a booster club at Lake Park? Doesn’t the District cover all costs associated with sports programs?
The district only provides each school with enough money to pay for coaches, referees, uniforms, basic IHSA approved equipment, transportation, and some supplies, such as medical equipment and balls. Other items needed by the 27 individual sports programs and the Lancettes must be purchased through other funds and the Booster Club funds are used to make up the difference for many needed items.
