Halton High booster funds approved to turf area around home plate and dugouts

Bossier Parish Schools Engineer Mr. Cottom presented a request from Halton High School to use baseball booster funds to install turf around home plate, the dugouts and around the backstop. Cottom said similar projects have been completed at Airline and Parkway and that booster funds would pay for the work. The committee approved the request; a motion was made, seconded and the vote was unanimous. Why it matters: Using booster funds for a facility improvement affects field playability and maintenance; because booster funds are private school‑affiliated funds rather than general fund capital, this action does not require a general‑fund capital allocation. No formal budget number was included in the presentation.
