organization thereof or while the members are being transported by or
under the sponsorship or arrangements of the school districts or
community college districts or a student body organization thereof to

or community college district should determine that a member of an
athletic team or the parents, guardian, or other person having charge
or control of a member of an athletic team are financially unable to
pay the costs of insurance protection, then the governing board
shall require the costs of the protection to be paid either out of
