Chicago Public Schools to Participate in 2010

By Aaron Brown

CHICAGO, IL -- A decision was made last week by the Chicago Public School system to cut the sport of water polo from their budget, effective immediately. Full details about the cuts can be found by reading this online article from the Southtown Star.

An off-the record source informed us last Wednesday that this decision basically meant that coaches were not going to be paid any salaries for the upcoming season, but that most coaches were considering continuing as volunteers in order to keep their seasons alive.

A meeting was held last Thursday to determine if it would still be possible to continue the season as scheduled, and it was determined that the Chicago Public School teams will participate in water polo for the 2010 season.

Salary details and other information is not available at this time.

No further decision has been made for the following year.
