Summary

A public commenter reported that roughly half the stadium lights went out at a home football game on Aug. 30; staff suggested a possible power-company phase loss and said maintenance will check lights at the upcoming game.

During Buildings & Grounds public comment, Krista Whitaker told the committee she observed that half the lights at High School North went out mid-game on Aug. 30 and that the field went "pitch black." Board and facilities staff noted the lights had worked the previous night at a girls' varsity soccer game and suggested a possible phase loss from the power company as one explanation.

Staff said they would have maintenance inspect the lighting during an upcoming boys' soccer game that evening to determine whether the issue persisted. The committee did not vote on any action but recorded the report and will follow up with district operations staff.
