II.c. Public Comment
Rationale

Pikeville Softball Boosters Presentation - Matt Wall Speaker
Below is an excert from an email from Softball Booster Club Treasurer Pat Gooch:
Pikeville High School Softball Boosters has a desire for the Softball Program to excel. To that end, the Program is in need of an Indoor batting and pitching facility for practice during winter months when weather conditions prevent outdoor practice.  Sharing  the gymnasium with Volleyball and Baseball during the Basketball season is cumbersome at the least.
A few years ago during an Athletics Committee meeting a facility was promised. That has not happened yet. The Softball Boosters have explored the idea and have pledges for COMPLETE funding for a 100' X 25' Indoor Softball Practice Facility in the area now occupied by the Softball Batting Cage.
We request an opportunity to present our plans to the Site Based Decision Making Council, as well as the Board of Education, for approval so we may proceed with our plans as soon as possible.
