Board forms playground committee, stresses drainage and grant planning
Summary
Board members agreed to form a playground committee to explore options and grant opportunities (including a potential $100,000 grant) and emphasized that proper drainage must be addressed before major site work is done.
After discussing Parkview's exterior options the board turned to safety and playground planning. Members proposed creating a playground committee made up of elementary teachers, administrators and board members to explore design options, committee roles and grant opportunities.
A board member said, "if we got a $100,000 grant, it'd be ridiculous to turn it down," and members agreed the district should begin exploring options even if the project is several years out. The board emphasized that drainage and site preparation must be resolved before major work to avoid wasting funds; one member said that if drainage isn't handled correctly, "then we're truly throwing money out in the middle." The board asked staff to convene interested members and bring committee recommendations and options back to a future meeting.
