Board hears concerns about softball field upkeep and booster-club needs; district says it will develop a response
Summary
Board members and a public commenter raised concerns that a coach performed field maintenance without district approval, called for forming a booster club to coordinate fundraising and volunteer work, and were told staff are preparing a plan and handling personnel follow-up.
Board members and community speakers discussed middle-school softball and baseball field conditions and asked why a coach had been performing maintenance tasks. A board member said many of the things being reported publicly were incorrect and that some changes had been made without district agreement; the superintendent said personnel-related conversations are ongoing and that maintenance and reconciliation plans are being developed.
Several board members and a community speaker urged establishing a booster club (501c3) to provide consistency and fundraising support for athletics, and suggested outreach at sporting events to recruit volunteers. District staff said they are ready to make approved fixes once a plan and personnel actions are clarified.
