Resident urges board to reconsider athletic complex near neighborhood

Colman‑Egan School District 50‑5 Board of Education · March 10, 2026

Summary

A resident told the Colman‑Egan School District 50‑5 board that neighbors oppose siting the planned athletic complex adjacent to homes and urged officials to find an alternative location or a plan that preserves privacy and allows sensible future expansion.

Mary, a neighborhood resident who opened public comment, told the board she and other neighbors appreciated the district’s meetings but opposed building the athletic complex next to their homes. “Still, none of us think the athletic complex belongs in our backyards for so many reasons and not just because we decided to live there because of the privacy,” Mary said.

Mary asked the board to continue one‑on‑one conversations with residents and to pursue solutions that accommodate possible expansion while minimizing impacts on private properties. She thanked the board for meeting with neighborhood groups and asked that communication remain open so concerns can be addressed before permitting or annexation steps move forward.
