Clarifications on Athletic Reductions
Across U-46, the discussion of budget reductions has tended to focus on the impact on middle and high school athletics.
It is important for parents and community members to understand that the middle and high schools in U-46 will continue to offer sports this year. The reductions will affect the number of assistant coaching positions and, in turn, the number of teams available for competition in some sports this spring.
Middle Schools
In middle schools, we will be offering one boy’s and one girl’s basketball for both 7th grade and 8th grade. In an attempt to serve as many students as possible, schools will be increasing the size of the rosters to 15 students per grade level.
The district is canceling intramural soccer that was scheduled to begin in the spring.
High Schools
All high school sports will continue to be offered in all U-46 high schools. The budget reductions will affect the number of assistant coaches for some sports and, in turn, the number of teams available for competition at each school this spring. Parents should contact their student’s high school athletic director or principal with questions. However, every U-46 high school will continue to offer the following sports this spring:
