In a recent government meeting, officials discussed ongoing maintenance and improvement projects at the local high school, addressing community concerns about the condition of sports facilities and infrastructure.

Key updates included the completion of tree planting around the old high school and ongoing painting work in the gym, expected to be finished within two weeks. Additionally, plans to seal and stripe multiple parking lots, including those at Housel and the stadium, are in progress, with hopes to complete the work before winter weather sets in.

A significant focus was placed on the state of the football field, which has drawn criticism from community members for its poor condition. Concerns were raised about safety hazards, including sharp rocks on the field, which could pose risks to players. Officials acknowledged the issues, attributing some of the field's deterioration to past maintenance challenges and leaks that had not been adequately addressed.

In response to community feedback, officials outlined a plan to improve the middle school football field, which will include underground irrigation systems to enhance watering practices. They emphasized the importance of proactive maintenance, including aeration and the use of appropriate materials to improve the field's surface.

Officials expressed their commitment to collaborating with community members who have offered assistance in maintaining the fields, highlighting a desire for a solution-oriented approach to address the concerns raised. The meeting concluded with a call for continued community engagement as the district works to enhance its sports facilities.
