Local Resident Raises Concerns Over Night Use of High School Athletic Fields
During the recent Holliston Public Schools School Committee meeting held on March 27, 2025, community concerns regarding the use of athletic fields were brought to the forefront. A resident expressed frustration over the enforcement of the KFCA policy, which regulates nighttime events at the high school field. The policy permits a maximum of 20 night game events annually, yet the resident noted that this limit has been exceeded multiple times in the past year.

The resident recounted an incident involving a neighbor who was detained by police while attempting to address what he believed was a violation of the policy. This incident highlighted the tension between community members and school officials regarding field usage, particularly concerning noise and disturbances caused by unsupervised students during nighttime activities.

The resident emphasized that while the lights on the field are not the primary concern, the overall impact of increased nighttime usage on the neighborhood is significant. They urged the committee to consider community input in future discussions about the policy, suggesting that a more collaborative approach could lead to a more accommodating policy that balances the needs of students and local residents.

The meeting also touched on other topics, including a brief mention of science credits, although details on this matter were not elaborated upon during the discussion.

As the committee moves forward, the call for greater community involvement in policy decisions reflects a growing desire for dialogue between residents and school officials. The outcome of these discussions could shape the future use of the athletic fields and the relationship between the school and its surrounding community.
