Rutherford County Schools reviews greenhouse partnership, track naming and softball project requests
Summary
The board heard three engineering/construction items: Smyrna Elementary requested a 12x20 greenhouse through a Taylor Farms partnership (not to exceed $25,000, no cost to board claimed); Riverdale High sought to name its track for Coach Ricky Field; La Vergne High presented a softball project request not to exceed $20,000.
During the engineering and construction portion of the meeting, staff presented three facility requests for board consideration.
Smyrna Elementary Principal Vanessa Ritter requested a 12-by-20-foot greenhouse and garden partnership with Taylor Farms to be used by all students; the request was described as "not to exceed $25,000" and engineering/construction reported no objections. Staff stated the project would be at no cost to the board.
Principal Tamara Blair asked the board to name Riverdale High School's track in honor of Coach Ricky Field, who speakers said has coached basketball, football and track since 1990; engineering/construction reported no objection and board members spoke in support of honoring him while he is still active.
A request for La Vergne High School softball (typo in packet noted) was presented as a school board request for softball funds with an expected cost not to exceed $20,000; engineering/construction had no objection.
All three items were presented for board review; engineering/construction voiced no objections but no formal votes or final approvals were recorded in the provided transcript segment.
