At a meeting Wednesday night in Minonk, the Citizens Advisory Committee for the Fieldcrest School District
voted to set up three committees - one for fundraising, one for curriculum and one for the set up of a fund
for donations.
The committee also voted to present the following proposals to the school board:
- 1. All k-5 students will be charged a $25 fee. This will cover their fieldtrips.
- 2. All 6-8 students will be charged a $150 fee to cover their activities such as student council, choir chimes and KORT.
- 3. All high school students will be charged a $200 fee to cover their activities such as yearbook, student council, national honor societies, etc.
- 4. Any middle school or high school student who wants to play a sport will be charged $150 per sport.
The committee discussed the following items but did not make any recommendations. The items were tabled
for more information and discussion:
- Asking the sponsors of activities and coaches of sports to accept a 30-40% pay cut. The school board will have to negotiate the terms.
- Discussed the attendance center proposal.
- The committee is looking for more data to determine what the cost saving would be from only
sending buses to games and then having them come home.
