Board accepts fully funded gift to resurface Freeport Middle School basketball courts
Summary
RSU 5 accepted a community-led gift to resurface the outdoor basketball courts at Freeport Middle School; donors raised the full cost and the facilities director vetted the engineering.
The RSU 5 Board of Directors voted to accept a community fundraising gift to resurface the outdoor basketball courts at Freeport Middle School.
Board members moved and seconded the acceptance of the gift and approved it by voice vote. Maura moved the measure; Kelly seconded.
Board members said the gift, raised by a community group called Build It Back for Bob, will cover engineering and resurfacing costs that the district had not budgeted. Facilities director Glenn Reynolds reviewed engineering plans and endorsed the proposals for the resurfacing project. Ally McCormick, a Build It Back for Bob organizer, told the board the campaign raised the full amount and thanked donors including local businesses and community members.
Board members praised the fundraising effort as a community tribute to the late Bob Smith, who led the original campaign to build the courts over 30 years ago. The board authorized acceptance of the gift and directed the facilities office to proceed with project coordination.
No vote tally was recorded in the meeting minutes; the board approved the motion by voice vote.
