Summary

Board heard that playground equipment has been purchased with estimated total cost of $111,000 and roughly half the cost expected to be covered by grants; installation depends on removal of existing equipment and volunteer support was discussed.

An administrator told the board that playground equipment for the district has been purchased and that grants will cover a substantial portion of the cost. The administrator said they expect almost 50% of the $111,000 total cost for equipment, installation and shipping to be covered by grants and other sources, leaving the district to fund the remainder.

The administrator noted removal of existing equipment will be necessary before installation and said volunteers could assist with demolition to reduce costs; staff estimated about one week for installation once removal is complete. No formal funding vote occurred at the meeting; staff will return with implementation details if needed.
