The\u00a0Chicago Tribune\u00a0<\/em>has reported that the Hinsdale District 86 Board in Illinois could potentially eliminate the girls and boys swim and water polo teams at both Hinsdale Central and Hinsdale South High Schools in an effort to reduce expenditures to provide funds to pay for upgrading security measures. The future of the teams as well as the football team and marching band will be voted on in a referendum on April 2.<\/p>\n

The board said the painful decisions were necessary so the school district could afford pressing infrastructure improvements.<\/p>\n

\u201cCapital expenditures were pushed out for far too long,\u201d<\/span> board member Kevin Camden<\/strong>\u00a0told the Chicago Tribune<\/em>. \u201cIt\u2019s time the board had to make difficult decisions. The reality is our time is up.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The board voted to put a $130 million referendum on the April 2 ballot. The goal is to\u00a0make all areas of the schools handicap accessible, replace boilers and ventilation systems and renovate technology classrooms.<\/p>\n

Camden said residents should not assume all the reductions would be reversed if the referendum passes, but other board members said they expect the athletic programs and other activities would be reinstated, so there is a potential that this will not be a permanent cut.<\/p>\n

The board voted to eliminate the football programs from both schools since that is the most expensive sport to operate.<\/p>\n

District officials also were concerned about abiding by Title IX rules which dictate students of both genders have equal opportunities. The football and wrestling teams are all boys, so eliminating those teams do not reduce sports opportunities for girls.<\/p>\n

Poms and the bass fishing team also were eliminated.<\/p>\n

Neither vote on the program cuts, nor the April 2 referendum was unanimous.<\/p>\n

The board sought to make a minimum of $2.1 million in cuts to the 2019\/2020 school budget as part of a plan to fund $46 million in facility improvements over about a six-year period. The board ended up approving nearly $3.7 million worth of changes in estimation of unforeseen circumstances, as one of the board members was quoted as saying \u201c$2.1 million is too small a target for us.\u201d<\/p>\n
