Your wallet will NOT take a hit, after all.

A proposal to raise athletic fees for Coupeville High School and Middle School athletes has been pulled from the consent agenda for tonight’s school board meeting.

“It was removed because we realized we had not done our community income survey, which is required before making changes to the fees,” said Coupeville Schools Superintendent Steve King.

“So, if we change fees in the future, it won’t likely be until at least the 24-25 school year.”

The cost to play a sport at CMS remains at $50, while high school athletes pay $75.

Under the proposal, which would have raised fees for the first time in more than a decade, costs would have jumped to $75 and $110, respectively.

The move was related to things such as increased game fees for referees, though school officials offered assurances the district would continue to help athletes in financial need.

The change was expected to bring in an additional $15,000 for the district.

School athletic fees likely to increase

You’ll soon be paying more for your kids to play.

If approved by the school board at its meeting June 29, Coupeville High School and Middle School will hike athletic fees beginning this fall.

It’s the first raise in more than a decade, school officials say, and necessary to compensate for increases in costs.

Under the new plan, the price to play a sport at CMS will jump from $50 to $75, while high school athletes will go from paying $75 to $110.

A memo from CHS Assistant Principal Leonard Edlund says the change should bring the district an additional $15,000.

The proposal is included in the consent agenda for the school board meeting and needs approval from a majority of the five directors to be put into action.

That meeting is set for Thursday, June 29 at 5:30 PM in the Anderson Board Room in Annex 307 at Coupeville High School.

Public comment is allowed, with community members granted three minutes apiece.

The comment portion of the meeting comes AFTER the consent agenda is adopted.

However, a school board director may request an action from the consent agenda be moved to the end of the meeting and opened to discussion by board members before being approved or denied.
