Explain to me why it is necessary. If you have a school set up where each sports program supports itself through fundraisers, the gate, etc. Why do you need the fees. At Letcher Central, every single dime spent on uniforms, travel, etc is through fundraisers, gates, concessions etc. The only dime the school system spends is on the coaching salaries.

sorry i meant its necessary for some schools, especially for independent and private schools that share their county with other schools. Take Covington Holy Cross, a small Catholic school in Kenton County. The gate and concessions they collect at games isn't enough to keep the program running, so they have to fundraise, which they do, but their sharing neighborhoods with Holmes, CovCath, Dixie, Scott, and Simon Kenton. All of which also fundraise to help pay for sports. Its easy when you're a big county school and the only other school close by is a small independent, but for schools that share the county with a few other schools, its not as simple. Plus, its nice to have alittle something just in case things don't work the way you expected to.
