[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is an area where private sector out-sourcing is possible. Club sports organizations already exist and it wouldn't have to be part of the school system. The school facilities are already used by sports clubs -- so the schools could still offer those up. But, as far as coaching, uniforms, sports administration, and yes, marching band -- all of that could be left to private clubs. [b]One reason the board might give for keeping it in house is that they have control over students meeting certain academic standards in order to play. But, in honesty, you don't have to accomplish much to qualify to play (a "carrot" for those who might otherwise only focus on sports). [/b] I would agree with OP -- our focus should be on the academics. Let clubs and private sector run the sports/cheer/marching band as out-of-school activities.[/quote] If the only incentive to get decent grades is to play a sport, we have other problems.[/quote]
