When the local media – the Waxahachie Daily Light and the Midlothian Mirror – reported on a turf upgrade (or wait, did they report on that?) about Midlothian ISD’s stadium turf, I didn’t see mention of any price. I didn’t see mention of any price on the Midlothian ISD Web site.
So I filed an open records request for the turf costs, plus a few other repairs to the two middle school tracks that MISD considered, and some other items.
(remember, we’re in the middle of a depression with what underreported Bureau of Labor stats show as a 21% unemployment rate)
- Stadium turf repair: $162,400
- Costs to upgrade, repair, maintain city-school tennis courts: “up to” $40,000
- Track repairs to Walnut Grove Middle School & Frank Seale Middle School: $75,000
Just thought I’d share this with the public since the local media didn’t bother to.
Wait…that’s right…I am the local media. The only local media that reports this sorta thing…
