Board approves $3.09 million South Middle School practice-field project
What happened
The board approved phase one of a new practice facility at South Middle School. Staff said it is designed to match East Middle School’s athletic setup and is targeted for completion by August 10, 2027; it will miss the coming spring track season but is planned for middle-school football.
Why it matters to families
The project gives South Middle School an upgraded athletics facility and addresses differences between the district’s middle-school fields. Its track and field layout also allows room for a larger soccer field if the district chooses to use it for soccer.
The evidence
The board unanimously approved ATG RAM Industries’ phase-one construction agreement for $2,999,800 plus a 3% contingency, not to exceed $3,089,784. Staff said the design mirrors East Middle School, includes a wider track with room for a larger soccer field, and targets August 10, 2027 completion; they said it would not be ready for the upcoming spring track season but aimed for middle-school football (00:43:52–00:47:00).
