A Project Baltimore investigation is raising more questions about Dunbar High School’s football stadium and the money it’s generated. Sources tell Fox45 News the FBI is investigating.
Now, Project Baltimore is learning new information. We’ve been following the money trail from ticket sales at Dunbar, and things don’t seem to add up.
At one Dunbar High School football game on September 22, 2017, the Dunbar Poets played their rivals, the Mervo Mustangs. For the players, the game generated bragging rights. For the school system, it generated revenue from ticket sales, or at least it should have.
At Dunbar High School football games, a ticket sells for $5. The first $599 in ticket sales stays at the school. That’s about 120 fans. According to City Schools policy, any ticket sale revenue of more than $599 goes to the district office at North Avenue.
That is how the process is supposed to work, but here is what Project Baltimore found. Let’s begin in 2016. According to public records, Dunbar sold enough tickets that year to send $4,218 to North Avenue. But in 2017, the money started drying up. Only two games made enough revenue to reach the central office, with ticket sales generating $1,300 for the district.
