The School Board has decided not to pursue a policy which would charge students for participating in athletic and extra-curricular activities. The idea was brought up as a possible cost-saving measure, in light of tighter school budgets, and reductions in state aid for Cape Elizabeth schools. After the meeting, Superintendent Dr. Thomas Forcella explained that, after surveying a majority of students at that High School, the schools found that the amount of money that might be raised would not be worth the administrative costs, not to mention the negative reaction that would likely come from students and parents.
Similar policies are in effect in other school districts.
