These cases may involve discrepancies in academics or character. Often times a mistake is made by school officials trying to better their school by raising more funds for the athletic program. A great deal of funding is needed to support an athletic program. Monies must be allocated to purchase equipment, pay coaches supplements and provide proper transportation. Also, a school district must take into account accidental insurance and regular upkeep of facilities into their athletic budget. It takes a consistent influx of money to keep an athletic program afloat and much more to have it flourish in today’s economy. This paper identifies the various problems school districts run into when attempting to fund an entire athletic program, the tactics that are used build a school’s athletic fund and the future of high school athletic funding.
