Comments revolved around concerns over how the district would implement the program with just a month to go before school starts, to what would happen to families with athletes at both the middle school and high school.
The board did not take action on the recommendations and will announced later a special meeting to vote on the matter.
Superintendent Ann McVey presented the proposed fee schedule for the 2013-14 school year, including a $100 charge for the first sport played, $75 for the second, and $50 for the third, all at the high school. There would be a family cap of $350, but no individual student cap.
Students at the middle school would pay $50 per sport with a family cap of $150.
Cheerleaders would pay $50 per season.
The recommendation "is a starting point for discussion," said McVey.
She said she had heard from voters after the last levy defeat questioning why the district did not have a pay-to-participate program in place.
