Sports Corner: Supr.Conzemius Speaks: Verona raises fees for athletic events---$1

(Ed.note. The following was noted in the minutes of the Verona School Board. Evidentally they have not heard of the WIAA limitations that restrict Evansville from doing the same.)

"High School Athletic Fee Structure
Several questions have been raised about the proposal to increase athletic fees at the high school. The following is a summary of the information that was requested.

1. Percent of high school students who purchase a student pass - 23%

2. Procedure for determining eligibility for financial assistance – Family must qualify for the free or reduced lunch program.
3. Estimate of money that will be available based on an increase in adult ticket prices from $3 to $4 - $6,000 will be generated with a $1 increase in gate fees.

Please note I have included a copy of the minutes from the April 7 coaches meeting with Mark Kryka (Athletic Director) that summarize the cuts that have been proposed. I appreciate the effort extended to this process on the part of Mark Kryka (Athletic Director) and the rest of the coaches."
