School Board Meeting to Include Pay-to-Play Presentation

Parents and residents with questions concerning pay-to-play programs in Tolland schools may get some answers at Tuesday's school board meeting being held at 7:30 p.m. at Tolland High School.

Superintendent William Guzman said that a board member will present a history of the pay-to-play program, explaining why the athletic fees have been raised to their current rates. In the proposed budget, high school athletes would pay $325 per sport, while rates at the middle school would be $225 a sport.

The presentation will also include an accounting of four to six different sports programs, showing how the fees are allocated per sport.

"I know the board wants to address as many concerns as possible," Guzman said.

The meeting agenda is available on the school district's website.
