@sab & ellen,
please allow me to rephrase that, I do not personally know any high school…Read More student athletes, I do know some of their parents. And yes I would love Turf fields, however if elected it is not "what I want" it is what the taxpayers, students, parents etc. are for, which is why I posted here, why I have spent countless hours as a candidate walking door to door, attending meetings trying to find out what the taxpayers, students, parents etc. want along with what is best for the students, taxpayers. What is financially feasible. Let’s not forgot other organizations rent time on these fields and their concerns need to be addressed or they will take their money elsewhere. So if all of those factors come to be a yes I will vote for them if not , no.
Again it is not about what I personally want.
@Ellen, like I said to Sab. I will vote.
I do not believe this a great forum for this. I think you all should attend your board meetings, held once a month in every district. Make your voices heard, or write a letter to the boards expressing your concerns. Be official and be heard!
