No? Our school district cut all sports, K-12. Along with everything else that wasn't nailed down.

The only thing that matters is the tests!! Which means - math and reading. No money for anything else.

Heck, we had no money for paper this year. (Our district has been in the center of a major poor money management crisis. Heck, I think some oversight board had to take over the budget. So unfair to the kids).
