Cabot School Board backs fitness court proposal; parks department to seek funding
Summary
The board approved a resolution supporting use of district property along South Polk for a 38' x 78' National Fitness Campaign court to be funded through Cabot Parks and Recreation and grants; the 6-0 vote authorizes staff to proceed with the partnership contingent on outside funding.
The Cabot School Board voted 6-0 on Aug. 19 to approve a resolution supporting the use of approximately 38 feet by 78 feet of district property along South Polk for a fitness court through the National Fitness Campaign.
Aaron Randolph presented the proposal and said the fitness court would sit by the tennis courts behind CAO and serve both the public and physical-education classes at nearby schools. Randolph and Travis Young, director of Cabot Parks and Recreation, attended an A & P Commission meeting to request funding for the project. The board’s resolution supports use of district real property with the understanding that Cabot Parks and Recreation and grant funding will cover project costs.
Joe Trusty moved to approve the resolution, James Hertzog seconded, and the board voted 6-0 to adopt the measure. The motion and vote were recorded in the meeting minutes; no construction timeline or final funding commitments were recorded in the transcript.
The board’s vote is a resolution of support and does not obligate district capital funds; implementation depends on Parks and Recreation securing grants and other financing and on any required city approvals.
