todayMarch 13, 2016

The controversial Fruth Field artificial turf proposal comes before the Fond du Lac School Board Monday.  The board is scheduled to discuss the matter during a workshop session following their regular meeting.  In addition to artificial turf, plans call for updating lighting and sound systems and building a community pavilion.  The track around the field would be removed.  The school superintendent has proposed borrowing from the fund balance to pay for the project with a goal of raising the estimated $1.5 to $1.9 million through donations.  A couple of people spoke in opposition to the plan at the last board meeting questioning the need, and pointing out the district still owes nearly a half million dollars for the new entryway at Fruth.
