Improvements To Be Made To Woodland Playground
Cameron County School District (CCSD) board members are working to improve the playground areas at Woodland Elementary school.
A bid of $7,410 from Losey Contracting was approved for removal of old mulch, excavation and installation of drainage pipe and a gravel base at the Kindergarten playground. Board members decided to set a deadline of June 30 for the work to be completed, barring any extreme weather that might necessitate delays. Work will commence after school is dismissed for the summer. Money for the project will come from the capital reserve fund.
Drainage has been an issue at the playground. During several rain events, mulch and material has washed from the playground into the parking lot and required extensive clean-up by maintenance workers. It has also decreased the amount of mulch beneath the equipment.
