District 742 is looking into the future of their Lake George Neighborhood properties, including Tech High School, Clark Field and the media services building.
A $2,000,000 fundraising campaign to save Clark Field is set to get underway. Friends of Clark Field spokeswoman Ruth Kaczor says they've received letters of support from the city of St. Cloud and the school district to move forward with the project.
The Friends of Clark Field group is gearing up to start fundraising for a proposed $675,000 renovation project for the site. The school board discussed the renovation project during their Thursday night meeting, after Superintendent Willie Jett met with St. Cloud Mayor Dave Kleis and Friends of Clark Field leader Ruth Kaczor.
New renovation designs and a fundraising plan with the goal of bringing varsity sports back to Clark Field were revealed Thursday morning. Members present from the District 742 school board remain on the fence with the plan.
With the news that District 742 would maintain Clark Field last week, the Friends of Clark Field group is now exploring options to restore the field for varsity sports. The original proposal to build a $26 million early childhood education, community education, media services and district administration facility on the site has been reconsidered by the district.
