Several track athletes at Wayne High School spoke to district leaders about how the current plan is already hard for some families.
“There are a lot of great athletes here at Wayne, but you don’t really know what’s going on in their lives or what their background story. Some athletes have both parents, some athletes have one, and some athletes don’t have even both,” said Alex Moncrief.
The district will still have to deal with budget challenges, but the plan will not include students having to pay more to play sports.
