Board approves combined baseball and softball turf field

What happened

The board approved a $1,830,900 universal baseball and softball field at the existing varsity baseball site, plus a 5% construction contingency. The district expected work to start within 30 days and committed to a February 15 completion target; nearby athletic facilities are to remain open during construction.

Why it matters to families

The new turf field will serve both baseball and softball programs and is intended to reduce weather-related cancellations. The project is a substantial renovation of an existing varsity field, with the district setting a near-term construction schedule.

The evidence

District staff said the combo field would replace the existing varsity baseball field, serve both baseball and softball, and aim to eliminate rainouts and weather delays (01:07:45–01:08:04). The board approved ATG Sports' $1,830,900 proposal with a 5% contingency, and staff confirmed the February 15 target (01:11:44–01:12:31).
