In the midst of a slumping economy and tight education dollars, public schools in Minnesota are finding it harder and harder to fund sports and other activities.
Some schools are eliminating programs and many others are raising the fees that students must pay in order to participate. The problem touches schools of all sizes in all parts of the state and is only expected to worsen.
Star Tribune staff writer John Millea and photojournalist Rich Tsong-Taatarii spent time in four school districts that are dealing with serious funding issues.
Their three-part series, "Prep Sports in Peril," looks at Crosby-Ironton, Brainerd, Grand Meadow and Lakeville.
Look for their reports starting in Tuesday's Star Tribune and on startribune.com.
