During the recent NAFCS School Board meeting on April 28, 2025, a significant decision was made regarding the future of the unused pool at Scribner Middle School. The board approved a plan to convert the pool area into much-needed athletic space. This transformation will involve placing a floor over the existing pool and excavating some earth beneath it to create two storage areas. This initiative aims to address the storage needs of the school buildings, which have been a growing concern.

The estimated cost for this project is approximately $1,590,450. This investment not only repurposes an underutilized facility but also enhances the athletic and storage capabilities of the school, benefiting students and staff alike.

In addition to the pool conversion, the meeting included discussions on other topics, though none carried the same immediate impact as the Scribner project. The board's commitment to improving school facilities reflects a proactive approach to enhancing the educational environment for the community.

As the project moves forward, it is expected to provide valuable resources for athletic programs and alleviate storage issues, ultimately contributing to a more functional and supportive school environment.
