This quote about how students have to spend too much money on the sports they play in order to participate.
“Not only have they cut out our budget for all sports, the district has a transportation fee. All students are required to pay the fee ($150 per sport) unless they can show financial distress. Now, parents tell their children they only can choose to participate in one or two sports. If they decide to participate in track, for example, we ask all team members to take part in the fundraiser or give $50. Add that to the transportation fee and you’re looking at $200 to start. Then, the athletes have to purchase their own warmups ($130) and shoes ($100). For a first-time athlete in track, that adds up to $430 before the season begins” (Benjamin Trombley, Kimball High School, Tracy, Calif.). This quote shows that because the lack of funding in different high schools all around the country students have to pay more then they should have to which result in parental complaints and unnecessary fees. High schools need to put in more funding in sports for the student athletes and so they can reach their dreams.
