EXCLUSIVE: Providence Demanding Pay-to-Play for Sports at Charters, Non-Public Schools
In a letter that went out from Providence Public School Department (PPSD) Business Manager J. Michael D'Antuono on August 18, the PPSD outlined its new policy as follows:
The Providence School Department is implementing a "pay to play" cost share initiative for the 2015-2016 school year. This will apply to all students who participate in an athletic program within the Providence School Department.
GET THE LATEST BREAKING NEWS HERE -- SIGN UP FOR GOLOCAL FREE DAILY EBLASTThe fee will be $802 per student, per sport, per season, for any Cooperative School, Charter School, or Non-Public School. The Finance Department will handle the accounting for PPSD Schools; all other Non-Public Schools or Charter Schools, which are participating in conjunction with the PPSD, will be invoiced accordingly. The sending schools will only be responsible for athletes who make the final roster or added to the roster at any time during the season; the $802 will not be prorated for athletes who do not make the full season.
