On Tuesday May 19th at 6:30 pm in the HS Auditorium the Athletic Boosters will be holding a meeting to vote on a final proposal for fees for the 2015-16 athletic year.  All parents/ guardians of a potential DHS student JV or Varsity athlete are highly encouraged to attend and vote on the proposals listed below.  

You do not need to be an active member of the Athletic Booster Organization to vote.

Please plan on attending this very important meeting!

Option #1 - Fully funded with option to decrease 2nd and 3rd sport participation fees.

Each student Athlete would be required to pay a $300 Athletic Fee to the "Town of Douglas" and a $300 donation to the "Douglas High School Athletic Booster Club" for the restoration of Douglas High School Sports.  The $300 donation to the “Douglas High Athletic Booster Club” can be reduced for second or third season Athletes as Fundraising and Matching funds become realized.

We the “Douglas High Athletic Booster Club” are in need of a very short-term influx of cash to show to the High School Administration and School Committee that there are funds available to guarantee the restoration of High School Sports for all seasons.

This option sets the bar high and can be reduced over the school term with Student Athletes’ and their Family’s fundraising.

Option #2 – Fully funded with no options to decrease fees.

The student athlete fee would be $600 per player per sport with no cap. This fee would cover ALL expenses for all teams for the 2015-2016 athletic year with no fundraising needed.
