School Board Explores Dropping Student Athletic Admission Fee

The Wabash District #348 school board is considering dropping admission charges to sporting events for district students. At Monday morning’s monthly meeting, Superintendent Dr. Chuck Bleyer brought up the idea of not charging any student in the district to get into athletic events. He said the district didn’t make a lot of money by charging the students. For the first time this school year, all students in the district will be issued photo ID’s that Bleyer said could be used for admission into the games. While not taking any action on the idea, members of the school board seemed receptive to the plan. The school board will meet in special session next Tuesday at which time they could approve the proposal ahead of the start of the new school year.
