You are new to high school and inherited a booster club system with many issues. First, the girls' basketball team has the largest booster club in your program, raising more than $100,000 a year. The budget to operate the girls' basketball team is less than $50,000, including part-time coaching salaries. The district already supports the budget, and the initial goal of the booster club was to give teams a chance to purchase practice gear and team travel items (jacket and bag). The girls' basketball booster club is demanding that the team get to use the additional funding to travel to a tournament across the country. As athletic director, your dilemma id that you must consider all programs. Allowing one team to spend $50,000 while other teams cannot even raise $5,000 may raise some red flags. What would your response be to the girls' basketball booster club? If you agree to let the team use all of the funds, what rationale would you communicate to the rest of the department and coaches? IF you reject the proposal to use the funds, what rationale would you communicate to the booster club members and the girls' basketball team? What policies can you implement to avoid such a difference in fundraising across all your programs?
