    Background:

    At its October 25, 2021 regular meeting, the T/E School Board received a presentation on a field study for athletic facilities. Since the District acquired the nursery property adjacent to Conestoga High School, there have been discussions about using that land for athletic fields. The October 25th presentation outlined:
    • Aspects of the field study that have been completed to date
    • Goals of the field study
    • Field study assumptions
    • Background information on current athletic teams and current field usage
    • Field study survey of surrounding school districts
    • Site plans and two options to address identified needs
     
    Community Feedback on the TESD Field Plan
     
    The School Board hosted a community open house on December 14, 2021 to provide community members with an opportunity to learn more and provide input about the District's nursery field plan. The Board values community feedback and has established an inbox that members of the public may use to submit comments on the District's field plan. Please email comments to TESDFieldPlan@tesd.net. All feedback received in the field plan inbox will be shared with the School Board.
