The state of Florida is currently making educational budget cuts which will affect most parts of the school system. The sports departments of schools all throughout the state are expected to be hit bad by these cuts, but there is no word yet on what will be taken away from the sports world at Beach High.  Athletic Director, Edgar Botto, believes the likely victims of budget cuts may be sporting facilities and the conditioning of the football team.  Still, nothing has been said in terms of whole teams  being cut. “They [the school board] said that they might [cut whole sports teams], but they do not know yet,” claims Botto. Botto, along with a Miami Herald article dated April 30^th, point out water polo, golf, bowling, and tennis as sports on the chopping block.   Back on March 12^th, superintendant Rudy Crew, in a power point presentation, proposed to “reduce sports and after-school activities” as “tentative school-based budget cuts” for 2008-2009.

·         QUOTE: We think it was vandalism because someone went through the trouble of stopping up the drains. That’s what makes us believe it was vandalism. Either somebody broke it [fire sprinkler], somebody lit a fire like a lighter or a match. Right now we are in clean up mode and opening up any walls to remove any moisture that could be trapped in the ceilings or in the walls. Right now we’re at $30,000. That’s just to mobilize this outside company and maintence itself. The money that we don’t have. The money that goes for you guys. The 30,000 just now, not including the ceiling tiles, we are looking at probably 50 maybe higher. We are going to have to cut the wall open and put fans in there for 38 and
