Section Track Meet fell short of projections, the dues have increased from $.05 per student to $.23 per student over the span of eighty years. The present per-pupil fee has not changed since 1987! Under the per-pupil system, schools with large student bodies contributed the bulk of revenue to Southern Section (dues constitute 14% of total revenue) although, in most student bodies, about 40% do not participate in sports. Dues were difficult for financial clerks to calculate because CBDS numbers from the previous year served as the basis for the calculation. Under the proposed system, the number of sports offered serves as the basis for calculating dues. Sports like basketball must be counted as two sports if both genders are served. Preliminary calculations show that our large schools will benefit because of lower dues. Small schools will not suffer inordinate increases and will only pay for those sports they offer. Here is a chart showing the impact on schools of selected sizes: # of sports School Enrollment Current Proposed 24 Harvard-Westlake 1169 $893.87 $1,200 24 Millikan/Long Beach 4320 $1,618.60 $1,200 14 Capistrano Vly Chr 185 $450 $700 14 Dominguez 2735 $1,004.05 $700 8 Connelly 300 $325 $450 8 St. Lucy’s 800 $438.60 $450 The Southern Section Executive Committee has endorsed the proposal and Council has received it favorably. By simplifying the dues structure the Section offers ease of use, simplified accounting and equitable payment, based on the sports offered at each school. The proposal is scheduled for a vote on April 21, 2009.
