Seattle Public Schools = Unfair adult athletic field fees!
Several years ago Seattle Public Schools unilaterally raised athletic field fees for adults (only) to $95/hour for their new synthetic fields. This rate is double the average field fee for the Seattle region!! There was NO public process prior to this change and past efforts to get SPS to reduce fees to something that most citizens can more easily afford has met deaf ears. Recent efforts with newer School Board members lends some hope to getting this fee reduced but you can imagine the challenge of getting Seattle Schools to reduce a revenue stream. We need for you to contribute your voice to this effort - or do you like paying the highest fees for public athletic fields in the region?!?!
Send an email to the Seattle Public Schools Superintendent and School Board letting them know how you feel - this means you soccer, ultimate, football, rugby, and lacrosse players.
