Are Students More Equal than Others?

Susan Lampert Smith: "West High kids may have more opportunities because their parents are able to pay so they can play". Evidently, the issue is $6,000 in the Madison School District's $320M+ budget.

Meanwhile, Sandy Cullen discusses an attempt to move extramural sports to MSCR (part of Fund 80) as a response to the elimination earlier this year of freshman no cut sports. Madison Superintendent Art Rainwater mentioned:

"Our problem is facilities," Rainwater said, adding that after-school activities, practices and games, as well as community programs, are already using the space needed for an extramural program. "If we don't have facilities, we can't do it."

I hope and assume that programs for our school age children always come first in these discussions.
