Board hears request for an adaptive playground at Oak Flat; staff will explore grants

Big Spring School District Board (committee meetings) · October 7, 2025

Summary

A board member asked whether grants are available to fund an adaptive playground at Oak Flat Elementary to serve MDS students; district staff said they were not aware of specific grants and would investigate potential funding sources.

During the facilities presentation, district staff described a proposed adaptive playground at Oak Flat Elementary to provide accessible play space for the district's multiple-disability support (MDS) students. "Is there any grants available through, like, disabilities... ?" a board member asked, pressing whether outside funding could offset costs.

A staff member said, "Nothing that I'm aware of, but we could certainly look into it and see if there's anything available," and added the district will check for grant opportunities. The adaptive-playground idea was presented as part of the team's summer 2026 priorities; no funding decision was taken at the meeting and staff will report back with options.
