Boys’ Swimming and Nordic Ski kept in 2009-2010

schoolboard11After months of debating and frustration, Buffalo’s School Board has decided to keep Nordic Ski and Boys’ Swimming in the 2009-2010 school year. The decision was made on May 26 at the school board meeting, after Nordic Ski Head Coach Jill Hanson presented the board a $10,000 check to cover activity fees. Many swimmers and parents also attended the meeting along with Boys’ Swim Coach Ryan Renstrand, and presented their check as well.

The decision is a huge success for swimmers and skiiers, but presents many of the same challenges in future years. Because the school board only approved Boys’ Swim and Nordic Ski to be offered in the 2009-2010 school year, swimmers and skiiers will find themselves in a similar situation to self fund next year.

“I’m happy we get a chance to show who we are and what we can do again next year,” said Sophomore Swimmer Will Elliott. “We want to swim so we’ll do what it takes to be able to.”
