Board approves up to $15,000 to extend gym wall pads after safety concern
Summary
After staff reported new main gym wall pads were too short and posed safety concerns, the school board approved 'Option 2' to extend pads full-length and authorized up to $15,000 for pads and paint work.
School staff reported that the new main gym wall pads installed as part of recent work were insufficient in height at both the south end and the north end near the stage, leaving a roughly 5-foot distance from out-of-bounds to the wall. The board discussed safety concerns and approved proceeding with Option 2 of the proposal to extend the pads the full length of the wall.
The board authorized up to $15,000 to cover the additional padding and paint work. The motion to approve the additional amount was made by Shayne Korpela and seconded by Alisha Soderbloom; the vote passed unanimously, Yea: 6, Nay: 0. The work is intended to address immediate player safety risks observed during games.
