The host School runs the gate, and the concession stand, there is a small charge for doing the field, like I said before Highlands has trouble getting the help to run it, told to me by there coach. If it rains they will have to do double the work at home.

Are you saying the reason Highlands is underfunded is because they remain an independent school system? One of the things the mountain schools have done is consolidate all these small schools and made one central school Knott CO, Harlan CO, Perry CO, etc. maybe consolidating with the other Northern Campbell County schools is the solution.

Being independent has nothing to do with funding. Fort Thomas is actually bigger than many county systems. KERA is a complicated formula that does not do Fort Thomas any favors (or Beechwood, Campbell, Boone, or Kenton either). Fort Thomas funds over 60% of the school system with local tax dollars. Only a handful of school systems in the state have to do that.

So what is happening in Kenton CO that is not happening in Fort Thomas? I'm having trouble understanding what the problem is, are they having to redistribute money that they don't have?
