Plainfield School District 202 considers what to do about students who don't pay athletic or club fees; one option could mean students will be forced to withdraw from their sport.
The Plainfield School District 202 school board and administration are considering options when it comes to student athletes who do not pay for the sport they play. This year, the district issued $350,000 in fees for high school students who participate in athletics or clubs, and nearly half, or $172,000, of those fees still have not been paid, said Angela Smith, the district’s assistant superintendent for business and operations. Sign up for the Plainfield Patch newsletter For the district’s four football teams alone, $40,000 out of $87,000 in fees issued has not been collected, Smith said. Supt. John Harper said those families who have not demonstrated any financial hardship, who do not qualify for waivers or who have not asked for a …

New ticket rate designed to ensure students are there for 'right reasons,' not to cause trouble, board vice president says.
Starting this fall, Plainfield students wanting to attend a sporting event in which their school is not participating will have to pay an entry fee. The Plainfield School District 202 board Monday approved the new policy, but a fee for attending the athletic events has not been determined. Students need to show their school ID to be admitted to the game. If their school is not one of the two teams participating in the game or if they forget their ID card, they will be charged, said board Vice President Michelle Smith. The move was done as a safety precaution and to maintain crowd control, she said. The board also wants to ensure that students are at the athletic events for the “right reasons” – to support and cheer on their school – and …

Neuqua Valley 8, Plainfield South 5: Drew Bailey's three-run homer, lucky breaks help Wildcats to 10th win.
There was plenty of weirdness to go around in Friday’s baseball game between Neuqua Valleyand Plainfield South. The game, which was supposed to be at Plainfield, was switched to Neuqua at the last minute due to field conditions. The Wildcats (10-3-1), although they were playing at home, was listed as the road team. “We definitely got thrown out of our rhythm,” Neuqua Valley coach Robin Renner said. That was especially true early. Wildcats pitcher Alan Foresta gave up a three-run homer to first baseman Victor Garcia after the defense missed two close plays. Foresta got a break, however, when Darrell Collins accidentally hit ahead of Ricky Salazar. After Collins struck out, Renner noticed the mistake and Salazar was automatically called …

Plainfield North 10, Naperville North 0 (5 inn.). Tigers rough up Huskies starter Brennan McClung for eight runs; Sean Renzi throws one-hitter in shortened game.
The Naperville North High SchoolHuskies got into an early hole against the Plainfield North Tigers. Tigers pitcher Sean Renzi made certain they never got out in a 10-0 game that lasted only five innings. “We’re a really young team and our pitching staff didn’t have any innings last season,” Huskies coach Carl Hunckler said. The pitching inexperience was on display early as Huskies starter Brennan McClung struggled to gain momentum. Renzi was an offense catalyst, with a two-run double in the top of the first. Four batters scored later on a two-run single by first baseman Pat Cashman. After a scoreless second inning, the Tigers (3-0) were at it again in the third. McClung gave up three straight singles to load the bases for leadoff man Evan …

Jerry - Education benefits the community, football, acting, etc. does not. So what if the kid feels left out because the parents can't pay? Kids are not in school to feel good, they are there to learn. More schools need to remember that and focus on teaching ONLY. more ›
