Comments on: High School Sports: Another Florida Budget Problem http://www.spartyandfriends.com/2009/02/19/high-school-sports-another-florida-budget-problem/ Where We Told You Evan Turner > John Wall Fri, 19 Mar 2010 17:03:48 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Wolf http://www.spartyandfriends.com/2009/02/19/high-school-sports-another-florida-budget-problem/comment-page-1/#comment-42070 Wolf Fri, 20 Mar 2009 16:57:22 +0000 http://www.spartyandfriends.com/?p=8777#comment-42070 Everybody keeps missing the point. High school sports really end up either costing very little or making money for the schools. Most sports arepaid for through fundraising/booster club. The only thing that the individual schools pay for are the coaching suppliments and that is generally taken care of through ticket sales and concessions. The real problem starts with the bloated Federal Government and the unnecessary Dept of Education and it trickles down to the bloated and overpaid Orange County school board. For each State the average return for every dollar that we send to the DOE is 50 cents! Thats EVERY dollar we sent to the DOE we get back on average 50 CENTS! This was a part of the Republican platform until 1988 (getting rid of the DOE). Think before you vote people! Dont let the media decide who's in office or who is "electible". Wake up!

Maybe they should cut funding from whoever it is that is supposed to be teaching them that because those guys are clearly failing. /lawyer'd If the schools were more effective they’d be able to figure out a way to do it without cutting stuff.
