High School Upper Practice Field Update

Posted 03/26/2018 04:04PM

The School Board has asked the Facilities Department to move forward with plans to construct a competition, artificial turf field on the Upper Practice Field at the high school.

Work is underway to complete the field design and obtain storm water management permits. A committee is being formed to evaluate differ types of artificial turf to help inform the Board's decision.

Contract pricing will be brought to the School Board to consider, possibly in May. 

The end of the Capital Campaign and the end of an era

Go to the 01:30:00 time stamp of the March 12 School Board meeting to hear the announcement of the new non-profit fundraising headed by volunteers Noelle Conover and Bill Moorhead. There is no more Century of Excellence Capital Campaign, but a reset of a new fundraising initiative with a presentation by Noelle and Bill next month.  Elaine Cappucci was really angry.

This discussion had followed the decision to have bids and permits filed for artificially turfing the Rock Pile with the board agreeing that artificial turf is the best course of action. Of course, Larry was very excited by this opportunity. Larry, can you change it up a bit? Do you ever say anything else?

I am still watching the meeting. They are going to talk about the budget next. WHAT???????????? I just heard that this will be Jan's last budget that she is preparing for the Mt. Lebanon School District!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Am I dreaming? Getting new auditors. New business director. End of the Century of Excellence Capital Campaign. Timmy actually being involved in the meeting, instead of sitting there with his arms folded watching everyone else do his job.

HUGE CHANGES! I am loving it!!!
