Oak Flat adaptive playground proposed to serve students with multiple disabilities
Summary
Administration proposed installing an adaptive playground at Oak Flat Elementary to provide accessible play space for MDS students; the board asked staff to research grant opportunities and include the project in pricing requests.
Mrs. Lance told board members Oak Flat Elementary houses the district’s MDS (multiple disability support) classroom and proposed an adaptive playground so those students would have accessible play space like other elementary students. "This adaptive playground would provide an accessible space for our MDS students just like we have playgrounds available for all of our other elementary students," she said.
A committee member asked whether grants are available to help fund such projects; Mrs. Lance said she was not aware of specific grants but would look into potential funding sources. The committee also requested a list of other deficiencies and nonfunctional equipment across buildings so staff can prioritize work across the district.
