During a recent government meeting, the board addressed several key items, including the approval of the consent agenda and a specific contract authorization for the Beaverton High School Stadium Turf Replacement.

The consent agenda was approved unanimously, with one item—related to the turf replacement—pulled for separate discussion. A motion was made to approve the contract authorization for the Beaverton High School Stadium Turf Replacement, which was seconded.

One board member expressed concerns regarding the use of turf fields, citing issues related to toxicity, increased orthopedic injuries, and potential environmental impacts. Despite these concerns, the motion to approve the turf replacement contract proceeded without further debate.

The board concluded the discussion with a vote in favor of the contract, moving forward with the project despite the raised concerns. The meeting highlighted the ongoing dialogue about the implications of turf installations in school sports facilities.
