$225K for flag football??? And it isn't even the sport with the highest interest from students? With all of the whining from CCSD about budget problems, there is absolutely no justification for the continued funding of extracurricular sports at this level. This is a shameful waste of money when CCSD should be focused on improving academics. If girls flag football is so important, let the parents pony up. Same thing for boys football, by the way.
