Amarillo School Board votes against sponsoring swimming team
Acting on Sim Kellys motion the Amarillo School Board voted not to sponsor the Amarillo High School swimming team. They noted swimming brings no revenue and is not an interscholastic league sport and cited lack of willing teachers to sponsor or instruct. A plan to offer physical education credit for tankwork was proposed, while future sponsorship would wait until a school pool exists and can support the sport on a larger scale.
