Wisconsin School Cuts Curriculum by $1.2 Million, Asks for $450,000 for New Football Turf

Larry Laux, a member of the field project committee and parent of a football player at Kettle Moraine High School in Wisconsin, said it best: "It is a little bit awkward, I'll grant you that." A little awkward? Here's the rest of the story from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinal:

Just days before the Kettle Moraine School District's superintendent embarked this month on discussions preparing residents for $1.2 million in program cutbacks, a letter went out to some of those same residents.
Signed by a group called the Kettle Moraine Field Project Committee, the letter sought $460,000 in funding the installation of artificial turf for the football field.
If successful, Kettle Moraine High School would be the latest school in the state to perform a pricey upgrade to its athletic facilities at a time when many school districts complain they have to reduce services or are holding referendums to raise tax dollars to keep existing programs.
