DHS Track and Field Operational Costs

  • Mar 31, 2021

Background Information

Even though we are technically four teams (frosh/soph boy, frosh/soph girls, varsity boys, varsity girls), we only have three total coaching stipends to use. The parcel tax funds a single class 1 coaching stipend and two class 2 coaching stipends (Thank you, Parcel Tax). 

We receive no financial support from the district for coaching stipends, equipment, travel, or anything else. 

We have to fundraise for the remainder of our operational costs, which, by definition, are necessary for our sport to function.

 

 

Projected Expenses based on previous years:

xcstats roster builder $195.00

Hiring a starter for our home meets: $1,500.00

Booster paid coaches: $16,410
