Pueblo County High School plans to replace its worn stadium turf

What happened

The district presented a plan to replace the synthetic turf at Pueblo County High School’s stadium. The field was installed in 2014, and recent testing found degraded fibers and reduced shock absorption.

Why it matters to families

The district cited the field’s condition as an injury-prevention concern for student athletes and other users; the proposed replacement contract is $553,200, funded from insurance reserves.

The evidence

The Nov. 10 agenda lists the project as a discussion, not an approval. The project memorandum says the existing turf has exceeded its expected 8–10-year lifespan and that field testing found fiber degradation and reduced shock absorption. The attached construction contract lists a contract sum of $553,200; the memorandum identifies the insurance reserve fund as the funding source.
