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.

Is it a matter of how much state funding these other schools get and they level of income of the student body? Can fundraising truly fund all schools activities. I've heard the magic word of fundraising your own sport, but it sure seems like fundraising would come up short if ALL schools had to fundraise. In CKY & NKY, there is probably less funding from the state than there is in the areas of the state with minimal family incomes.

tousaints, you are from NKY, are there public schools in our area that you know of that don't charge a sports fee?
