The Keystone Central School District held a work session on September 4, 2025, to discuss various agenda items, primarily focusing on the proposed location for a new facility. The meeting highlighted concerns regarding the suitability of the proposed site and the need for further community engagement.

The first significant point raised was the condition of the proposed ground, which was described as unusable and previously abandoned. A member expressed disappointment that the matter had not been discussed with the community before moving forward. They emphasized the importance of community input in such decisions.

The discussion then shifted to the possibility of identifying a second location for the facility. Suggestions included partnering with existing park systems that have functional baseball fields or utilizing space in front of Central Mountain Middle School, which was noted to have adequate hard-packed sod. However, the member indicated that they could not approve the proposal without prior discussions regarding these alternatives.

Concerns were also raised about scheduling conflicts between the school facility and local Little League activities, although it was clarified that the primary focus should be on the school's needs rather than those of the Little League.

Additionally, the issue of parking and accessibility was addressed. The member pointed out that the proposed parking area near Homesteads often has poor drainage and lacks adequate ADA-compliant parking spaces. This raised further questions about the feasibility of the current proposal.

In conclusion, while there was a willingness to support the initiative, the member stated they could not approve the proposal as it was presented, citing the need for further discussions and considerations regarding location, community involvement, and accessibility. The meeting underscored the importance of thorough planning and community engagement in the development of school facilities.
