LORDSTOWN While improvements may be needed down the road to the 40-plus-year old school district buildings, administrators and board of education members are discussing what must be done right now, such as flooding problems at the discus pit.
Superintendent Greg Bonamase said at Wednesday’s board meeting he has spoken with officials from MS Consultants about a drainage-improvement project at the athletic field and also addressed the often-flooded discus pit.
He said it was recommended the district replace the 900 linear feet of pipes to improve drainage off Salt Springs Road and to lay more piping at the discus field to enhance drainage there. He said some of the current piping is in good condition with cracks that can be fixed.
