District says track resurfacing may wait for warmer weather; grinding scheduled this week
Summary
Contractors will grind flaking areas of the high‑school track this week; repainting and rubberized surface application require temperatures above 40°F, so staff expect to prep now and install the surface when forecasts permit — target completion late February or March ahead of the mid‑April first track meet.
Dr. Myers told the board contractors were scheduled to grind flaking material from the track this week and that the district has reiterated that the entire track surface must be prepared to prevent future flaking. He cautioned the surface application requires air temperatures above 40°F: “The temperature in order for this to work, it can't drop below 40 degrees,” he said.
Staff plan to complete preparatory work now while watching the forecast; the district is targeting late February or March to finish the work so the official first track meet — scheduled for mid‑April — is unaffected. Board members said contingency plans (moving meets) are being considered but would be a last resort.
