District to charge fee to athletes By Joel Luna The Facts Published June 17, 2008 Whether it’s a team or individual sport, participating Brazosport ISD students will have to pay a new athletic fee starting this fall. “The financial crunch of the district, the trend across the state of Texas to charge activity fees instead of dropping programs because of all financial problems across the state, and to offset rising cost of insurance,†BISD Athletics Director Jesse Crow said of the reason for adopting the fee. The fee will be a one-time charge of $30 for any student at Brazoswood or Brazosport high schools as well as Lake Jackson Intermediate, Clute Intermediate or Freeport Intermediate students involved in athletics. “We are mainly using the funds to continue to keep the insurance,†Crow said. “We don’t want to call it an insurance fee because we don’t want to confuse parents who might say, ‘Well I paid the insurance fee, why isn’t the insurance covering all of my children’s injuries?’ But it’s not an insurance fee, it is an activity fee and it is going to be required for all the extracurricular activities.†There is a discount for those unable to cover the $30 cost. Students classified as economically disadvantaged will have to pay $20. “The good thing about the way we are doing it, is that some school districts charge you by the sport or activity,†Crow said. “Ours is not. It is by the child, so once they pay they are paid for any activity that child is involved in for that year. It could be in multiple sports or band, could be choir. The district also has capped the fees at $100 per family no matter how many children they have involved in school activities. The fees will be non-refundable. With $48,000 allocated for athletics, cutting sports programs is not something Crow is prepared to do. “We looked at different options, and one was dropping the insurance and that was $91,000 last year,†Crow said. “We could have done that, but about 35 percent of our kids qualify for CHIP and probably 50 percent would have their own insurance, but there are always deductibles on those. The ones that scared me were those 15 percent that may not have any insurance, and all of a sudden if one girl goes down with an ACL, that is $16,000. That scared me.†At Brazoswood High School, athletes participate in football, basketball, tennis, wrestling, soccer, baseball, softball, volleyball, water polo, cross country, swimming, golf, powerlifting and track and field. “A lot of other places are doing it (charging fees), but hopefully we can keep it in a range where it is affordable,†Brazoswood coach Dean De Atley said. Brazosport High School offers the same sports except for water polo and wrestling. “I don’t like asking kids for money, but sometimes it is a necessary thing that we have to do,†Brazosport coach Brian Welch said.
