That was in the Rockford high schools, which did not field teams for several years back because taxpayers wouldn’t budge and increase the tax rate after years of profligate spending. I’m only aware of voters in a lone Illinois school district that ignored pleas to keep high school sports. It is that nuclear option - wiping out the extracurriculars - which parents, college applicants and alumni care about, especially with the Warren football team considered a ranked regional team in the shortened spring gridiron season. If the tax hike is defeated, the district will continue to run in deficit in the education fund, more teachers will be laid off, administrative salaries will be frozen, the school day will shrink. Without the influx of new tax money, the district will undergo “huge, massive cuts” he said. That means no sports or extracurricular activities, as outlined by March 19 by Michael Engel, the district’s business manager, in Erin Yarnall’s front-page News-Sun story.
