On January 24, our Boosters president Lauren Rutkin attended the January Board of Education meeting and spoke about the state of our fields (watch the video here). If critical repairs are NOT made, we are likely unable to be able to use the fields at Underhill. The proposal from an outside contractor, who could complete all of the needed repairs, appears to be “stuck” in the system.

Please take a moment to e-mail the people who can make this fix happen:
School Business Administrator Eric Burnside: eburnsid@somsd.k12.nj.us
Our elected Board of Education members: boemembers@somsd.k12.nj.us
Superintendent Dr. Ron Taylor: rtaylor@somsd.k12.nj.us

In your e-mail, please let them know it is imperative that they review the proposal for field improvements and execute on it immediately in order for this work to be done by March 8th. If this is not done asap, the district will not be able to hire a contractor in time.

If improvements are not done, our games will likely have to be moved off-site because we are at risk for player injury & liability. We will also be challenged to find practice space.

This is not just about our high school players. This is about having playable fields for all students – both current and future!

Thank you Baseball Community!
