The Butler Area School District has decided to increase the fee paid by student athletes to participate during the upcoming school year.
At their Monday night meeting, school board members approved setting the fee for the 2021-22 school year at $85 which is a $10 increase compared to previous years.
The increase was recommended by Butler’s athletic administrators to help cover increased expenses.
In past years, the money collected from these fees has gone towards facility upgrades and leasing agreements for cardio equipment.
