Two options for these rates.

 

1 - They are set high as a means to "get back" at those who did not support the levy: A very low class move.

 

2 - These are the true cost the school must bear for each activity: A very poor job of managing tax payer dollars.

 

Sad either way.

I remember being in the Chess club in high school, it consisted of sitting after school for an hour and playing.

Expenses: a teacher staying afterwards to supervise?

I saw a large gathering out in front of the high school Saturday, looked like it had something to do with football. Did this have anything to do with fundraising?
