The District's previous admission structure had remained unchanged for approximately 20 years while the costs of operating athletic events increased. The adjustment helps align admission revenue more closely with current operating costs.

CCS adult admission has remained at $5 for more than 20 years, while the cost of operating athletic events has continued to rise. The new $10 rate brings CCS closer to neighboring districts, where adult admission typically ranges from $8 to $10, and helps support safe, quality athletic experiences for students without adding a pay-to-play fee. 

The recommendation is focused specifically on the sustainability of interscholastic athletics and rising athletic operating costs. Admission revenue is intended to support athletic program needs.

No. CCS continues to have no pay-to-play participation fee for student-athletes.

No. Admission structures vary by level and sport. Families should review the District's published pricing and pass information for specific events.

CCS is working to balance the cost of operating athletic events with affordability for families. Student admission remains lower at $5, the Golden Apple Pass will continue for eligible residents age 60 and older, and additional pass options are being considered. Most importantly, student-athletes will continue to participate without a pay-to-play fee.

Funds from the adjustment will support athletic priorities at schools, including safety equipment, uniform replacement, athletic equipment, officials, and field maintenance. Those needs directly affect the safety and quality of the athletic experience for CCS students.
