Re:Pay for Play is up to $150.00 per child per sport last year it was $75.00 - 2006/10/14 19:27
The sad thing is that Pay for Play is a Fable...its make believe. It has nothing to do with the cost of sports. The school spends 70 percent on Administration and 30 percent on the actual student. After lavish...$4,000 to $8,000 dollar a year raises for the top two rungs of the ladder...they find that they have no money left. So they decide to call it a Athletic / music department budget. They decide to hit up only the High School parents of kids that play sports to make up for the missing money in the budget. They were going to eliminate 9th grade sports all together this year, until they decided to JACK UP the pay for play. My point is very basic. Until they cover all of theirr expenses, then you get a raise. But its the other way around. How dare a rich town like Simsbury try to pull this stunt. If you cannot afford to tip the waiter at the end of the meal, then dont go out to eat. I dont mind the fundraising, and the cost of uniforms...but like u said...enough is enough. I expected that....I just didnt expect to get hit with a brand new CONDO FEE of $700.00 a year extra.
