John Stark,
As was stated earlier, RI doesn't allow for charging students or their families to participate in sports. I can't agree with you that the School Committee doesn't consider sports "anything approaching a priority." Everything that was cut was important and my opinion is that, should additional funds come in, the SC should try as best as possible to balance academics and sports but, again, that's my opinion. To answer your questions:
- Current ytd, the schools have spent $1 million on substitute teachers. In FY2020 they've budgeted $1.5 million.
- As for the second question, anything I offer up would have a very healthy does of speculation in it so I'll pass on that one.
