Board approves softball batting cage bid; team-raised funds to cover project
Summary
The Centerville-Abington Com Schs board accepted a low bid to install a permanent softball batting cage on the south side of the field; board members said funds were raised by the softball team and the project aims to improve spectator space and safety.
Board members reviewed a proposal to move and install a permanent softball batting cage on the south side of the field to open additional spectator room and to separate hitters from stands for safety.
A presenter described the plan and said the money for the install "has all been raised by the softball team," noting the project would not come from operating funds. Members discussed layout constraints, the need to remove existing surface materials and a likely concrete pad pour as part of the installation.
After confirming the bid environment and that the recommended bid was the low bid, the board voted to accept the bid to install the new batting cage. The vote passed as recorded in the meeting transcript.
Board members discussed timing briefly and said pouring concrete would be a key milestone before netting and finishing work could follow.
