What happened

The district swimming pool has been out of service since spring 2026. In October the board added $55,000 to the 2026-27 budget for repairs. The pool is ready for water and waiting on two heaters.

Why it matters to families

Kirksey Elementary students get swimming lessons every two weeks in this indoor pool, so the repairs bring back a program families value.

The evidence

October 20, 2026 minutes record the $55,000 budget change and the heater status. June 11 minutes say the pool was down. The district information page describes the swimming lessons.
