BOE to consider turf fields; public input encouraged

On Tuesday, August 25, 2009, Andrew Roper, Supervisor of Instruction for Physical Education, Health and Athletics for St. Mary's County Public Schools, sent the following email to high school principals. 

      "Earlier today Brad Clements, Greg Nourse and I met with Dr. Martirano to discuss a concern that exists over the number and condition of athletic fields at the high school level.  In response to this concern we have been directed to explore the feasibility of installing an artificial turf field at each of the three high schools.  In order to do this a study group is to be formed in the near future.  We shall be preparing an information item to be presented to the Board of Education at their meeting on September 29, 2009 and would ask that you attend that meeting to show support for this initiative.  We would also ask that if you know of any coaches or community members who are advocates for artificial turf fields that you alert them to the fact that a feasibility study is to be conducted and encourage them also to attend the Board of Education meeting.
     If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Brad Clements or me."
