Student representatives report senior activities, locker-room repairs and request baseball-field fixes
Summary
Student board representatives updated the board on senior trip planning and spirit week; students raised facility concerns including a flooded infield and improper infield dirt on the baseball field and reported a work order was submitted for boys locker-room lights.
Student representatives briefed the William Penn School District board on April 28 about senior activities and facility concerns, and asked the district to follow up on maintenance needs.
Twelfth-grade representative J Lo Wise said seniors are fundraising and preparing for a senior trip to an amusement park and that spirit-week activities are underway. Eleventh-grade representative Morgan Askew Green reported that honor-roll breakfasts recently recognized students.
Tenth-grade representative Eli Faber was not present. Student representative Mr. Torres told the board the baseball field needs significant repairs: he said the infield is not level, floods after rain, has the wrong type of infield dirt, and lacks proper equipment and tarping to protect it from weather. “The baseball field isn’t really level. So like every time it rains, the infield gets flooded,” Mr. Torres said; he asked the district to consider solutions so games can proceed.
School staff and board members responded that a work order had been submitted for boys locker-room lights near the gym and that the district would follow up on field maintenance before the end of the season.
Discussion versus decisions: students raised issues and the board acknowledged them; the meeting record shows a work order was put in for the locker room and staff committed to follow-up about the baseball field but no procurement or construction vote occurred at this meeting.
