During the recent Comal ISD Board of Trustee meeting on March 27, 2025, board members addressed critical safety concerns regarding the district's press box facilities. Despite a previous proposal for funding that did not pass, the board has taken proactive measures to ensure the safety of students and staff.

Board members emphasized the pressing need for improvements, citing the press box's condition as a significant safety issue. One trustee expressed concern about the structural integrity, stating, "I'm gonna fall through this thing," highlighting the urgency of the situation. In response, the board has identified alternative funding sources to address these safety concerns, ensuring that necessary upgrades will be made.

The planned renovations will mirror the design of the Davenport press box, aiming to enhance safety and functionality. Board members acknowledged the challenges of communicating these decisions to the community, especially in light of the earlier funding proposal's rejection. They stressed the importance of reminding constituents that while their input is valued, the board must prioritize safety and take action when necessary.

As the district moves forward with these improvements, the board remains committed to addressing community concerns while ensuring a safe environment for all. The upcoming renovations are expected to significantly enhance the safety of the press box, reflecting the board's dedication to the well-being of its students and staff.
