District staff says a two‑pronged drainage fix for West Nassau softball/field will be installed over summer
Summary
Facilities staff told the board they have a plan to address drainage issues affecting West Nassau softball and the football/soccer field; work depends on material availability and is expected this summer.
Board member Miss Huddl asked for an update on the West Nassau girls’ softball field and noted the item had been discussed at prior meetings. Facilities director Miss Marsh told the board she had met with every principal and the West Nassau administrative staff and that staff have developed a two‑pronged plan to address the field’s problems: correct drainage on the field itself and repair a separate drainage issue away from the field that contributes to wet conditions.
Marsh said the district believes it has a workable solution and expects to institute repairs over the summer. She said some materials must be ordered and the timeline depends on when supplies arrive. Marsh characterized the soil in some district areas (Callahan) as heavy clay that does not percolate well, which complicates drainage solutions.
Board members asked follow-up questions about timeline and scope; staff said they would proceed as materials become available and that the planned repairs were coordinated with school administrators. No formal vote was required.
