Campbell schools to repair bleachers and light pole for football season
CAMPBELL
This fall, the Campbell Memorial High School football team will once again play under the lights.
Last May, a light pole blew over during a thunderstorm and damaged the school’s bleachers. Because of this, many fans worried about Campbell’s fall football season.
But the board of education passed a resolution Tuesday to move forward with repairing the damage. A claim paid by Liberty Mutual Insurance will cover the estimated $228,361 cost of repairing the bleachers and installing a new light pole. If the repairs are not done in time for the fall season due to weather or other circumstances, the claim allots the district $27,000 to rent a mobile light pole for a month.
“With great anticipation, we are on schedule to see these improvements, although we have a contingency plan just in case,” Superintendant Matthew Bowen said.
Campbell’s first home game will be at 7 p.m. Aug. 28 against Lakeview High School.
