Board hears facility and safety concerns: vandalism to dividers, baseball‑net holes and hunting on school fields
Summary
Trustees discussed maintenance issues including flimsy wall dividers damaged by students, holes in the baseball net posing spectator risk, and a recent incident where hunters shot an elk on school property; staff and trustees agreed to pursue practical fixes, student‑built solutions and to post 'no hunting' signage.
Trustees addressed a string of facilities and safety concerns raised during the maintenance report, including students damaging flimsy restroom wall dividers and holes in the baseball net near the spectator area. Members suggested practical temporary fixes (hooks, zip ties) and proposed engaging engineering and metals classes to design sturdier dividers as a learning opportunity.
Separately, a resident reported that hunters entered school grounds during hunting season and shot an elk on the field; staff said Fish and Wildlife had been notified and the board agreed to install permanent 'no hunting' signage at the site to deter future incidents. Board members said these are near‑term, manageable safety steps while longer‑term facility improvements are scheduled.
