The Sioux Falls School Board said Wednesday it will spend $6.3 million to renovate Howard Wood Field unless someone else gives it $15 million to $19 million to build a field elsewhere, making room for a new arena.
Bravo! The school board last night showed they know what their job is; educating our youth and protecting the interests of property tax payers. They proved they respect both by rejecting the Event Center task force fantasy proposals. I have said a million times, the task force needs to secure fiscally responsible funding FIRST then talk about the building plans.
School Board member Doug Morrison said it best;
“If we did have more money down the road, we’d invest on education, not stadiums,”
