Should the Freshman and JV basketball teams merge?

Question: In the spirit of cutting costs prior to cutting large offerings at our school, I believe many would agree that we would rather have an athletics program, where the Freshman basketball team is merged with our JV Basketball team, this is typical for many schools, and it would have its challenges but it would still be better than eliminating athletics all together.

Answer: Merging sports programs with other schools where possible is being considered. Elimination of low participation sports is being considered. We will also take this recommendation into consideration. The response from the community has been very strong surrounding sports and extra-curricular activities. These programs will be kept if we can find any way to afford them.
