The Problem: Our 6 old asphalt courts, were 23 years old, and required extensive repair - again. Over the courts' life, they have been crack-filled, repaired, and resurfaced numerous times. As the courts have aged, the weather damage has accelerated.

This year, the court condition brought the school district to a crossroad: pay for another extensive repair and resurfacing that will last another 3-5 years or find a long-term solution to make them as durable as possible.

Solution: After investigating our different repair/replace options and acquiring several bids, it was agreed to utilize the same post-tension concrete system that our two 2019 courts we constructed. These will provide longevity and reduce issues typical to a asphalt court - such as heaving, cracking, ponding, etc.

Project Timeline: The project was completed in the summer of 2024.

Funding for the Project: No referendum will be required, and taxes will not be increased. In addition to a fundraising campaign, BFHS started a facilities maintenance fund 5 years ago, and will use some funds from that, called Fund 46. A portion of Recreation District funds (Fund 80) will also be used, as will an insurance claim from wind damage to our windscreens and fencing. Finally, the last of the one-time ESSER funds will complete the project.
