ball field

[tax payer]

aint it nice of our school board to put in a new ball diamond at the school, they barely have enough kids in most of the grades to carry on any kind of ball game, for instance the 5and 6 grades had just enough player to play volley ball just enough kids to play baseball now this aint it great just like sodding the baseball diamond .with a school that has just enough kids to keep it open one would think that monwy could be better spent on something a little bit more important but what the heck this is the GREAT METRO. OF RISCO MO. ho hum

How many kids do we need in order for it to be a worthwhile investment?

The sodding was done last yr. and was donated by someone , it didn't come from any taxpayers pocket. This is what they said last yr. when it was done. I am sure the upkeep is their baby .Maybe now you won't worry so much. The sod may have been done yr. before last, Iam not sure.

how about the coach here that wont let the girls play on the baseball diamond., when 2 girls have been hurt practicing on the t ball field. do both of you think that all the up keep is donated yep it is frm the tax payers. when they told that it was all free is that like the tax hike from years ago oh well ho hum

the upkeep probably isn't free, and I really didn't see the need for grass ballfield, I just new someone play for the sod, I know it has to be watered and mowed, I don't understand why the girls can't play on it, they are students and sounds like someone needs to push that issue of title 9 or whatever. They have equal or nothing..the girls are as important as the boys.

For everyone's information the sod on the ballfield was paid for by the Booster Club. The school or school board had nothing to do with it. The money was given to the coach by the Booster Club for that purpose. As for some not getting to play on the field...I have no idea.

[Zwilliams]

for all yalls information they built a softball field and didnt do nutting to the baseball field this year. So i f yall dont know what yall are talkin bout keep ur mouth shut. Also we needed a softball field cause they been saying we was getting one for the last three years and booster club payed for that to.

[tax payer]

well z williams who is going to pay for the upkeep insurance lighting and all of the rest of the up keep the booster club i bet not its us tax payers again but the question still why cant the girls play on the baseball field girls not good enough i see a law suit if somebody wanted to push it the girls have played on that field since risco began but what the heck this the GREAT METRO OF RISCO ho hum

[Not sure]

I wonder if after the sod was put in maybe the field is a different size for softball or am I wrong. WHo cares who paid for what.? Its sports and if it gives something for the kids to do it keeps them off the streets and down gravel roads drinking and partying. The school has the tax money and I had rather see it go for sports rather than anything else. No one complains about T-ball and little league so why complain about this. Seems like you just want to have something to bitch about..

[tax payer]

not sure but where does it end if the girls cant play on the baseball diamond does that mean that they cant play on the basketball court, same difference if we were in a big city somebody would have done sued the school u can bank on that but what the heck this is the great metro of risco ho hum

[Not sure]

No I believe the girls have as much rights as the boys do. I was just wandering and asking if the girls ball field is smaller or the same size as the boys field. if it isn't thats the reason why they can't use it. IF its the same size then yes they need to take this to the school board and like it will make any difference with them unless you threaten them with a law suit, but you need to get all your ducks in a row and get your facts about title 9 or 11 which ever one it is and find out your daughters rights and run with it. I would if it were mine.

[People need a life]

ok..the girls got a field because 1: they deserve it 2: they worked for it and raised sum of the money and went to get the fence themselves and 3: they couldnt keep playin on the baseball field...the boys have their own schedule of games and so do the girls and sum times the clash...not that this is any of ur business ur dont go to that school.

[Some]

The word is some.

[tax payer]

well people need a life, the girls have played on that field since risco had a ball field, where is everybody going to park. bathroom facilities in the fence row, whether or not i go to this school is of no concern as long as we pay taxes. oh is it true that misty is working at the school are we going to start donating again. SIMPLE QUESTION require SIMPLE ANSWERS

[help]

I don't think Misty is working back up there, she has a job in New Madrid. Stop trying to start something that is a dead issue.
