District seeks $900,000 to rebuild the high school track

What happened

The board approved applying for a state Rural Athletic Facilities grant for a $900,000 project to replace the worn six-lane track at Piute High with an eight-lane track. The plan is $500,000 from the grant and $325,000 from the district, with possible help from the special service district.

Why it matters to families

If funded, the district would commit $325,000 of its own money to the project. The grant has not been awarded yet.

The evidence

October 13, 2026 draft minutes record the unanimous vote to approve the grant application and its funding split.
