Muscle Shoals BOE Doesn't Want Its Own Field

 

Muscle Shoals Superintendent Chad (OG) Holden

A pithy commentary from one of our favorite readers:

The Muscle Shoals BOE two years ago spent, being the Board of Education, $1 million to fix all the area around the track at the football field at the high school. They also spent $2 million this past year to retrograde and redo the fake grass at the stadium and inside at the practice field. This is money the Board of Education spent, so you wonder:  a baseball and softball field probably at its best  costs $1 million. Why can't they have their own baseball and softball field so that they're not kicking private citizens off of those fields for their high school use?

So Muscle Shoals spent three million dollars on its stadium facilities, but won't spend one cent on a baseball field? What is wrong with this picture?

Speaking of high school football, what does this mean?

We doubt Hines' initial story is true, but ideally Mars Hill should address these posts.
