Rewrite the following paragraph so that the resource material flows with the remainder of the paragraph. A person considering the cost of school athletics must first consider salaries of coaches, custodians, trainers, and band
directors. James Johnson said, "Equipment is another major
cost." Equipment includes uniforms for athletes, marching
band, pompom line, cheerleaders, and other groups whose function is tied to the athletics
program. Equipment includes
balls, bats, nets, clubs, laundry and cleaning costs, first-aid supplies, and medical supplies. Johnson also discusses utility
costs. "Some are directly related to the sports program such as lighting and air conditioning." Water used by the team for
showers should be included (26).
