Madison City lists turf bids for fields and an elementary playground

What happened

The Oct. 22 agenda lists a bid for turf at softball and baseball fields at Bob Jones High School and James Clemens High School, and at Midtown Elementary School’s playground. The agenda does not say whether this is new turf or replacement, or provide project costs or timing.

Why it matters to families

The work could change surfaces used for school sports and elementary play, but the agenda does not establish that the bid was awarded or when work might occur.

The evidence

The October 22, 2026 board agenda lists “Bid for Turf” at Bob Jones High School and James Clemens High School softball and baseball fields, and Midtown Elementary School’s playground. No scope, cost, award, or construction schedule is given in the agenda.
