District proposes adaptive playground to serve students with significant physical disabilities
Summary
Administration proposed installing an adaptive playground at Oaklat (Oak Flat) Elementary to provide accessible play space for the district's multiple-disability-support classroom; board asked staff to look for grants and funding options.
Administration proposed the installation of an adaptive playground at Oaklat (Oak Flat) Elementary to serve students in the district's multiple-disability-support (MDS) classroom and to provide an accessible play option similar to playgrounds available at other district schools.
A board member asked whether grants are available to fund such playgrounds. Mrs. Lance said she was not aware of specific grants at the time but would research available funding options. BSEA and board members discussed the community value of accessible play and the district indicated it will investigate grant opportunities and potential funding sources before returning with cost estimates.
The administration noted this recommendation was drawn from the master long-range capital maintenance planning process; the board requested that staff flag any possible external funding so local dollars could be prioritized for projects without outside support.
