Dear Stillwater Community,

At Stillwater Central, we are proud of our schools and the students and families, faculty and staff, and community they serve. Next Wednesday, March 24, Stillwater residents will be asked to vote on a proposal to make improvements to our track and turf field surfaces and to the middle school gym bleachers and doors. The vote will take place from 12-9 p.m. in the Stillwater CSD auditorium. Health and safety protocols for masking, social distancing and disinfection will be followed.

The proposed capital project would result in no tax increase. The majority of the $1.3 million cost would be paid for using funds already approved by district residents in 2018 and reserved, with the remainder coming from the district’s fund balance.

The proposed project will help us address current needs so we may provide a safer environment for our students and the community members who use our facilities. It will also allow the district to have our fields and facilities ready and in good shape for the fall 2021 athletics season.

You’ll find detailed information about the project, including a video explaining the proposal and addressing questions from the community, on this website. If you have further questions about the project, we have established a dedicated email address at TurfQ@scsd.org.

Thank you in advance for your consideration. Have an enjoyable weekend.

Sincerely,
Patricia Morris
Superintendent of Schools
