The following is the language based upon the budget actions taken by the General Assembly with respect to athletic facilities in the county for the Fiscal Year 2016 budget bill:
$2,800,000 as a grant to the Prince George’s County Office of the County Executive for the planning, design, construction, repair, renovation, reconstruction, site work, and capital equipping of athletic facilities at the following public high schools:
|
(a)
|
Northwestern High School;
|
|
(b)
|
Suitland High School;
|
|
(c)
|
High Point High School; and
|
|
(d)
|
Bowie High School.
|
There is no mention of artificial turf, though, of course that is what the county intends it for. >>>Read our previous coverage.
Given the debate over property tax rate increases for schools in Prince George’s, it is probably worth emailing the Governor, the County Exec and the Council that these monies should be used for renovation of grass fields and not for artificial turf. if this is about finding funds to repair school fields then we have those for Prince George’s County Public Schools.
