East Allegheny SD to begin first phase of stadium upgrades this spring, board says
Summary
The board has ratified a stadium improvement project; district leadership said the first phase will replace or upgrade stadium lighting this spring to support athletic and community events.
East Allegheny School District leaders said the board has ratified a stadium upgrade and that the first phase — focused on stadium lighting — will take place this spring.
Malone said the lighting work is a priority to ensure student-athlete safety, support coaching staffs and restore the viability of track meets and Friday-night community events. "We have a must go lighting project that the board has has voted on and has ratified, that will transpire this spring," Malone said.
The announcement framed the lighting as the first step in broader field and track improvements; Malone said facilities work will continue in phases so the district can address track and field needs after lighting is completed. No specific project budget or vendor was listed in the transcript; Malone described the decision as the board's current priority for athletics and community use.
District staff did not provide a project schedule beyond the spring timeframe given in the meeting comments. The board's prior vote to ratify the project was discussed in the meeting as an established decision rather than a new motion taken at that session.
