Parent urges Humble ISD to repair cracked courts at Umphill Middle School
Summary
A parent told the Humble ISD board that the basketball courts at Umphill Middle School are in poor condition with cracked pavement, bent rims and torn nets and urged the district to prioritize facility upgrades.
HUMBLE — A parent asked the Humble ISD board to prioritize repairs and modernization of the basketball courts at Umphill Middle School, saying the current condition poses safety and usability concerns.
Jamead Jones, who identified himself as a local resident and a parent, told trustees he uses the facility and described cracked pavement, bent rims, torn nets and faded lines. He called the courts a potential safety hazard and asked the district to make renovating the Umphill courts a priority and to consider updating courts across the district.
"The basketball court is an important part of our school's infrastructure," Jones said. He urged the board to invest in updated courts so students and neighborhood children have a safe, modern space for play and recreation.
Board members thanked Jones for bringing the concern to the board. The transcript shows no formal motion or staff commitment to a specific repair timeline at the meeting; Jones asked the board to give the matter "in-depth consideration."
