Decision Item #31: ELIMINATE HIGH COST/LOW PARTICIPATION SPORT OFFERINGS(cont.)FTE:0. Coaches and other athletic support staff are not considered in terms ofFTE.Anticipated Savings:Approximately $213,340 could be saved, $267,730 in expenditures lessthe $54,390 in revenue, if hockey, girls’ golf, wrestling, girl’s gymnasticsand boys’ swimming and diving were eliminated.It is important to note that while girls’ basketball is ranked as the fifth mostexpensive sport, it is not included as an option for elimination becauseeliminating the amount of female participants it provides may impose TitleIX implications. Title IX is address in the Student Impact section.Student Impact:Approximately 400 students, 275 boys and 125 girls, would be impacted ifthe sports identified were eliminated. Of total participants, boys accountfor 56% of the total and girls for 44%. <strong>The</strong> District currently enrolls 12,251male students and 12,642 female students. Enrollment distribution is 51%and 49% respectively. <strong>The</strong> current participation distribution is +/-5%relative to total enrollment. By eliminating the hockey, girls’ golf, wrestling,gymnastics, and boys’ swimming and diving the distribution would changeto 55% and 45% respectively, changing the ratio to +/-4% relative to totalenrollment. To satisfy Title IX concerns, equal opportunity must be offeredto boys and girls. <strong>The</strong> Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights,charged with enforcing Title IX, provides that a school that can answer“yes” to any of the three following questions is in compliance with Title IX:1) Are interscholastic level athletic participation opportunities for maleand female students provided in numbers substantiallyproportionate to their respective enrollments in the overall studentpopulation?2) If the members of one gender have been and areunderrepresented among interscholastic athletes, can the schooldistrict show a history and continuing practice of programexpansion which is demonstrably responsive to the developinginterests and abilities of the members of that gender?3) If neither of the first two prongs may be satisfied, can an institutionotherwise demonstrate that the interests and abilities of themembers of that gender have been fully and effectivelyaccommodated by the present athletic program?Virchow, Krause & Co.
