The Limestone County School Board held a meeting on June 14.

Superintendent Randy Shearouse shared an update on the plans for athletic facilities at many of the schools. Attached to the online version of this story are the plans for those facilities, which include: bathrooms at the West Limestone High School football field, a softball fieldhouse for Clements High School, baseball and softball locker rooms for East Limestone High School, and a baseball fieldhouse for Ardmore High School.

“When we did our capital improvement plans for athletic facilities we budgeted $1.2 million roughly, and so we should be good within our amount that we budgeted for the year,” Shearouse said. “They’re under $500 thousand each so we were able to get them approved quickly, and we don’t have to go through the state in order to get these plans approved.”

The following items were approved as a part of the consent agenda.
