MrStevegeStationBeaParkschy, &DirectoCoileRecreationDirector

College Station, TX 77840
Dear Mr. Beachy,
I am writing this on behalf of the South Knoll Elementary School PTO. We are currently
addressing the need for a running track to be located on our campus. The physical education
teachers came to us with a proposal for a 1/5 mile cement based track with a rubberized surface.
The PTO Board unanimously voted to approve $10,000 towards the track and agreed to assist in
securing outside funding to complete the project. At this time we have met with Steve Johnson,
Superintendent of CSISD and Mike Ball, Deputy Superintendent for Finance and Business Services
at CSISD and they have agreed to fund the cement portion of the track. The 'TO promoted the
track with a Family Fun Run/Walk as a kick off to the annual fundraiser, "Spring Fling" on April
13th. Profits from donations and T-shirt sales were earmarked for the track fund.
We are requesting that the city consider partnering with the school and the PTO with their financial
assistance in this project. We see this as an opportunity to demonstrate
the strong connection between schools, parks, and the recreational and fitness o•portunities they
both provide in our community.
We would like to base our request for funding from the College Station Parks&Recreation
Department on the precedent set by many school/park partnerships evident throughout our
community.
-Existing partnerships between our schools and community parks
Examples: A&M Consolidated Middle School Tennis Courts and Lightin. lectricity,
Electricity for lighting of high school tennis courts provided by the city, College Station Middle
School Natatorium.
-Where school and parkland are adjacent to one another and a partnership exists:
Examples: Jack and Dorothy Miller Park at Rock Prairie Elementary, Pebble Creek
Elementary.
-Where the School Supports Community Recreation
Example: High school and middle school running tracks and tennis courts, Elementary
school playgrounds for play, soccer, baseball, football and softball practices, Kids Club programs,
swimming lessons, recreational swim, and water exercise classes in the Natatorium.
-Park, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan
Under Strategic Goal 2 within this plan it states:
General Objective 2®2 College Station should continue to develop and maintain parks and
recreation areas jointly with other public agencies including Texas A&M University, College
Station Independent School District and Brazos County.
Specific Goal#12 Investigate the feasibility of cooperative ventures with the College Station
Independent School District.
South Knoll Elementary is the only elementary school in CSISD that does not have a track. Recent
research shows that students at Rock Prairie Elementary have significantly higher scores on
cardiovascular fitness tests (timed, mile run) compared to students at South Knoll. Rock Prairie has
been able to implement a successful running program with the use of the track that is jointly
supported by the city and the school. At a time when childhood obesity is at an all-time high and
continues to rise, Type II diabetes is increasing at alarming rates in children, and physical activity
has decreased among children, we feel it especially critical that we provide a safe venue for
children and families to engage in physical activity.
We believe the surrounding neighborhood would benefit from the track since at this time there is no
park in the area that provides a ru ingjwalking track. Gabbard Park's trail has not been
maintained.
Presently, the bid for rubberizing the track is $21,648.00. The PTO has approved approximately
$11, 212.00. We are asking the Parks and Recreation Department to consider contributing $8,000 to
complete the track project. CSISD will fund the cement portion of the track at approximately $23,
500. The PTO is very excited to be able to contribute this amount of money to the track project.
South Knoll serves a significant number of families that have many socioeconomic challenges, so
the fact that we have the money to do this from our fundraising efforts, gives us a treat s eal of
pride in our school and the families that help to support it.
This request presents another opportunity for our schools and Parks& Recreation Department to
combine resources and services to benefit children and the community.
We look fov ard to hearing from you and would welcome the opportunity to schedule a meeting
with you to continue this discussion.
Sincerely,
Debra McCandless Shafer
