| Travel costs squeeze high school budgets - Newsday Posted: 24 Aug 2009 08:24 AM PDT SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — South Dakota schools are taking a hard look at travel costs for sporting events during the economic downturn. Schools often have to travel long distances for games. For example, the Sioux Falls School District will spend more than $40,000 this year to send its teams to play western opponents. The issue has stirred talk of a future "metro conference" that would include the Sioux Falls schools, Brandon Valley and Harrisburg. Harrisburg activities director Scott VanDerMillen says talks might happen as early as this year. The South Dakota High School Activities Association at its Sept. 3 meeting also expects to discuss raising ticket prices at state tournaments to generate more revenue. The recession also is affecting families and sports. Cindy Behm in Sioux Falls says she's been forced to limit her children to one sport each season to cut costs. ___ Information from: Argus Leader, http://www.argusleader.com Copyright 2009 The Associated Press.
