Softball booster requests permission to paint dugout; committee will consider vote next meeting
Summary
At the May 27 meeting Joanne Clauss and booster club members asked the committee’s permission to paint a Foxboro softball design on the away dugout; boosters said the work would be privately funded and the committee agreed to place the item on the next meeting agenda for formal action.
Members of the Foxboro varsity softball booster club asked the School Committee May 27 for permission to paint the back of the away dugout with a Foxboro softball design to boost team pride.
Joanne Clauss, speaking for the boosters and athletes, said the project would be funded by the booster club and that the design highlights the varsity team’s accomplishments. Booster member Adam described a mural‑quality design and said the artwork would be located behind the visiting‑team dugout.
Committee members questioned the relationship of the proposed painted image to district logo policy and to a previous decision to phase out certain field logos. Administrators said facilities oversight is within the committee’s authority and that the proposed painted design is informational today; if the committee wishes to act, the item will be placed on the next meeting agenda for a formal vote.
The committee asked boosters to return with final design details, proposed text (for example, whether to list league championships), a funding pledge and any preferred warranty/maintenance information so members can consider the request at the next meeting.
