Rumor Mill - H.S. Pool is Not Closed

It has been brought to our attention that erroneous reports have surfaced stating that the high school pool has been officially closed due to the budget deficit.

Please note the correct information on this matter:

Mr. Danosky very clearly stated that the pool is closed for the season. That means temporarily from now until it is needed again for competition during the school year. P.A.C. suggested closing it earlier in the year at our board meeting to help save energy and reduce expenses. It is still on the "hit list" as the budget is being evaluated, but the operating costs have now been reduced to $90,000 from $150,000.

P.A.C. is attempting to secure grant money to permanently keep the pool open and the school board has given P.A.C. time to investigate additional funding options.

As we get further information, it will posted here. Thank you!
