Restoring Pequannocks Athletic Fields
Fellow residents of Pequannock Twp...As you are aware our School athletic fields have been in deplorable condition for years and are getting worse. The fields are now at the point where safety concerns are paramount. There seems to be snags within the Board that is hindering the proper restoration and maintenance of these fields...I think with the progress of the ongoing email chain "we the people" have gotten the Boards attention, and that they realize that we will hold them accountable to their elected responsibility. If you are in agreement that the schools athletic fields are in need of immediate improvement and you are demanding immediate action by the Board of Education to correct them...Please join in and sign this petition.
We the undersigned...your constituents of Pequannock Twp. are very disappointed with the condition of the Athletic Fields within the Boards jurisdiction. The fields are comprised of mostly weeds as the grass turf has been severely neglected. In the areas of most usage of the fields even the weeds are challenged to survive leaving our children to play in the dirt and dust. The fields are not level, and the surfaces contain divots that present extreme safety issues. There are already numerous injuries ranging from sprains to torn Ligaments to bone Fractures that are the direct result of the poor field conditions; and this is an outrage! The fields are also an embarrassment to the community and affect the value of our real estate. As part of the same community, and with children of your own utilizing these fields we don't understand how the Members of the Board could let the deterioration come this far...Therefore We the People that elected you are demanding immediate resolve to this crises. Thank you very much for your time.
