If the PPS Board decides to follow the suggestions from Dr. Lane, and if the board intends to swing the budget ax without haste, then announce the cuts to the sports and programs as soon as possible. Immediacy of discussion is needed and desired. Students, coaches and families don't want to be aboard a sinking ship. The damages to the swim program in the wake of the announcements from Dr. Lane on December 4, 2013, have been severe. To say a team might be cut is a scare tactic that works. Few are going to devote themselves to something that is going to be eliminated.

  • If the PPS Board decides to follow the suggestions from Dr. Lane, and if the board intends to swing the budget ax without haste, then announce the cuts to the sports and programs as soon as possible. Immediacy of discussion is needed and desired. Students, coaches and families don't want to be aboard a sinking ship. The damages to the swim program in the wake of the announcements from Dr. Lane on December 4, 2013, have been severe. To say a team might be cut is a scare tactic that works. Few are going to devote themselves to something that is going to be eliminated. If programs are cut, PIAA rules allow the students to depart their present school and enroll in another school without penalty. Example: A sophomore golfer could move out of Obama if golf is cut. That golfer gets to participate in golf right away while attending another school. Obama Academy's, 12 golfers, 30 swimmers and 20 tennis players could depart PPS and continue their education and athletic careers at Shaler, North Allegheny, Woodland Hills, etc. Who knows if a dozen or more kids will depart Obama and Sci-Tech or not.
