Trustees urge city coordination after community raises concerns about Lorac pool access
Summary
Board discussed swim-club access to the Lorac pool; superintendent said high-school teams maintain the same allocated time and the district rents pool time from the city, and trustees asked administrators to press the city to prioritize student access.
Residents and trustees raised concerns about access to the Lorac pool and the impact on club swimmers. Superintendent Dr. Shealy said the district rents pool time from the city and that high-school teams continue to have two hours of pool time — the same as before the new pool. "We did not add any time to our high school teams," she said, and noted the district will continue to press the city to balance open swim and team needs.
Directors suggested the administration revisit the operational agreement and speak with the city about giving students priority in key practice windows. Trustees also asked staff to be mindful of other program scheduling (for example, pickleball or community activities) that can conflict with prime windows for student-athlete practice.
