In a report Edon Superintendent Anthony Stevens gave at the February school board meeting, Stevens recently met with a representative from Leslie Coatings, regarding needed repairs on Edon’s track.
Stevens said that Leslie Coatings has done work on the track in the past. Stevens said that the representative gave him two options.
One of those was to resurface the entire track. The other option, that Stevens said that he has chosen, is a much cheaper route.
Here Stevens stated that district employees will patch up areas of the track themselves. Then, Leslie Coatings will spray and line the track.
Stevens said that with proper maintenance, that they should be able to get at least 3-5 more years out of the track.
While the latter portion is much cheaper, Edon School Treasurer Deb Nester said that Stevens is still in negotiations with Leslie Coatings.
As a result, Nester said that no price for repairs and that the date of the start of the repairs, has not yet been set.
