Facilities and Equipment Upgrades - Short Term
Facilities and Equipment Upgrades - Long Term
1) Football Stadium Bleachers - at two home football games (this year and last year) we had people fall through the bleachers and had to fix with temporary boards while the games were going on. The bleachers need to be replaced. - We are looking into quotes for cost of fixing or replacing bleachers
2) Track - Our track has been unusable for hosting track meets several years now and is only getting worse. With the track being used by community members, elementary students as well as JSH students for PE and other activities, and the track teams, there needs to be some concern about injuries taking place on the cracked and peeling track.
3) Baseball/Softball Upgrades:
- Curtain or drop down batting cages to go in the new addition multipurpose room
- Fix or purchase new netting for the outdoor batting cage
- Orange and Black Padding with Tiger Logo along the backstops of softball & baseball fields
- New sets of bases are needed for both fields
