The Elk Grove Unified School District (EGUSD) has long been known for its excellent athletic programs. We are proud of this reputation and recognize that athletics support our students’ physical, social and academic development. Unfortunately, due to the continuing financial crisis in the State of California and the reduction of funding for public education, the district has been forced to cut an additional $160,000 from high school athletics for the 2011-2012 school year. That is a total reduction of over one million dollars to athletics in the last two years.
Last year a Parent Advisory Committee was formed to explore alternative financial options for supporting the district’s athletic programs. As a result of the recommendations of this parent committee, as well as those of principals, athletic directors, and coaches, the Board of Education approved the implementation of a Voluntary Athletic Contribution (VAC) plan.
