School Board hears about playground from PTO (subscribers)

Date:

The Garretson School Board met in regular session on Nov. 11, 2019. One of the biggest highlights of the meeting was public commentary from the Garretson Parent Teacher Organization. They also talked about the upcoming roof and chiller replacement projects.

After the meeting was called to order, the board invited members of the Garretson PTO to speak. Representing that group were Heather Trudeau and Stacee Compton. Trudeau spoke to the board about the plans the PTO have had in the works for some time now to update and expand the school playground.

Everything in the expansion will be ADA compliant, there will be new swings, a handicapped accessible swing, and electric pulse tempo musical playground instruments. Estimates for the project are about $43.5k for materials and $13.5k for installation. Some electrical work would have to be done for the pulse tempo musical instruments and the rubber matting and surfacing with installation will also take some time.
