Board members raise concerns about outside youth baseball using high-school field
Summary
Board members debated whether outside EA youth baseball should use the high-school field, with some warning that outside play could 'tear up' the field and disrupt high-school game scheduling; officials asked for clearer allocations and scheduling rules.
Committee member (S2) pressed the group for clarification after seeing scheduling notices that outside EA baseball was slated to use the high-school field. "I don't want the field tore up for our high school games," S2 said, asking when and how EA Baseball began scheduling on the high-school field and whether responsibility for wear-and-tear was clear.
Presenter (S3) and others responded that the listings show use but the specifics of access and fees were unclear; they noted competing seasons and the need for an organized, cost-effective approach that protects the field for high-school athletics. S3 suggested the district needs policies identifying which organizations are permitted to use which fields and what costs or maintenance responsibilities they must assume.
The board did not reach a formal decision at the meeting; members asked staff to investigate scheduling, clarify who has permission to use the high-school facility and report back with options to avoid conflicts during the high-school season.
