BELTON â Recess is getting better.
The Belton Independent School District recently finished a more than $1.76 project that improved the playgrounds at 10 elementary schools and the Belton Early Childhood School. The school board, in a 6-0 decision Monday, closed out the project.
The new improvements included 76 new swings, 13 new playscapes, 17 new shade structures and 33,876 square feet of synthetic fall protection, according to the district.
âThis is one of those projects where once itâs complete, we receive immediate feedback from our kids,â said Mike Morgan, assistant superintendent of operations. âBased on their smiles, and what weâve heard from teachers and principals, Iâd say that the board hit a home run with this project. These playgrounds are going to serve our community and students for years and decades to come.â
