Trustees on the 鶹ýӳSchool Board voted April 30 to protect the position of the district-wide athletic coordinator, who is responsible for organizing every public school league from bantam girls soccer to senior boys basketball as well as the annual elementary school cross-country meet and more.
Vision 鶹ýӳboard chair Patti Bacchus described it as a ‘Hail Mary budget” since it nearly drained the district’s contingency fund, leavind $530,000.
