I called the administration at Schaghticoke. There has not been girls interscholastic soccer in recent memory. There IS girls intramural soccer at Schaghticoke. That FACT that there is no girls interscholastic soccer has NOTHING to do with the school budget. The major reason for coed school sports is not enough student interest. They did say that they were going to investigate expanding the program.

This town wants to cut everything that our kids have just to save a buck or buy anew pothole filling machine. It shouldn’t be at our kids’ expense!

Thank you for taking up this important issue. We want our sports programs at the HS to be growing, then we must encourage participation at the middle school as well.

Unless this was replaced with a new sport for girls to play, I don't see how this isn't a Title IX violation, as the girls seem to be denied the opportunity for equal benefits that come with playing on a team. Being on the team is not equal to playing for it.

I’ve served on school boards facing the need to cut sports to save the budget. But I’ve also fought that girls sports in particular need to be kept. It’s not a Title IX thing. It’s an education system honoring gender equity and showing girls they have equal value. Get creative and find a wya to keep this program going.

Elections have consequences. We need to support candidates who will fully fund our schools ....whether academics, arts/music, and sports.

This cut, and all cuts, are due to the members of the Town Council and Board of Finance who failed to support the schools. Remember this on election day, November 5th.

Katie was devastated when they took it away just as her class of 11 soccer players were entering SMS! It has hurt the town and the high school team.
