Board discusses community showcase and fundraising committee for new field and playground
Summary
Superintendent outlined plans for a community showcase and proposed a fundraising and planning committee to help raise funds for a new field (estimated broadly between $2 million and $6 million depending on scope) and to finalize a playground contract with PTO contributions noted.
Superintendent asked the board whether to pair a community showcase for the proposed new field with an existing activity or hold it as a standalone event, and proposed recruiting a fundraising and planning committee to identify priorities and fundraising targets. He said initial estimates vary widely depending on the project's scope and that the district would not necessarily pursue the highest-end options.
"We're looking anywhere from 2 to $6,000,000 depending on what we do and obviously it's not going to be that much," the superintendent said, proposing a committee to scope priorities and fundraising goals. He asked board members to suggest potential committee members (naming Clayton Morrison as someone who had expressed interest) and recommended forming the committee first so it could shape a single, focused public rollout rather than an unfocused open meeting.
On the playground, the superintendent said the district is in final contract phases with a vendor, noted PTO and other local groups had committed donations, and described plans to remove aging equipment (likely during the Christmas break) while keeping newer pieces.
