Board approves $105,000 playground resurfacing at Beckemeyer with Education Foundation pledge
Summary
Hillsboro CUSD 3 will resurface two Beckemeyer playgrounds after the Education Foundation pledged $50,000; the board approved spending the remaining $55,000 from sales tax funds in a 5-2 vote.
The Hillsboro Community Unit School District #3 board approved resurfacing two playgrounds at Beckemeyer Elementary on April 14 after the Hillsboro Education Foundation pledged $50,000 toward the work.
Superintendent McBrain said Molanda quoted the job at $105,000 and that the Foundations pledge would reduce the district share to $55,000, to be paid from sales tax funds. Motion made by Nathan Kirby, seconded by Kassie Greenwood to approve the playground resurfacing at Beckemeyer Elementary. On roll call the following voted yes: Matt Lentz, Brian Patton, Bill Christian, Kassie Greenwood and Nathan Kirby. Blake Furness and Mike Cerutti voted no. Motion carried 5-2.
Board discussion did not include a detailed construction timeline at the meeting. The narrow 5-2 vote shows two members (Furness and Cerutti) opposed proceeding under the presented funding arrangement; no further details of their objections were recorded in the minutes.
