Blind Brook – Status of Blind Brook High School Baseball Field
Dear Members of the Blind Brook Community,
I am writing to update the community on the status of the Blind Brook High School baseball field. As was shared in my previous letter on the status of the Blind Brook High School football field, LandTek was brought in this week to do the GMAX impact test at the baseball field. We received the test results today and the field did not pass. As of today there will be no access to the baseball field. We are reviewing the data from the test and are speaking with LandTek about possibilities for repairing this field or any ability to use parts of the field.
Ms. Saxton has been hard at work in setting up plans for our spring athletics teams. Additional information on practice and game locations will be shared when it becomes available.
The District is discussing all potential repair options for both fields and will be consulting with the Facilities and Athletic Advisory Committees. We will share information about plans and timelines as things progress.
I do want to thank the many community members who have reached out to offer their assistance in finding alternate locations for our teams to practice and play. I appreciate all the support that our schools get from the members of this community.
Sincerely,
Dr. Colin M. Byrne
Superintendent of Schools
