Discusses Jerry Stratton's, of Salinas Union High School District (SUHSD) in Salina, California, experience, stating that "the District currently has four synthetic fields, one at each high school site." Also states that "in review of SUHSD's experience over the past four years, Stratton notes that safety and the ability to increase field use have paid dividends for the district's PE [physical education] and competitive sports progerams." Profiles Mike Tarantino "director of maintenance and operations for the Poway, [California], Unified School District"; "Paul Gibeault...the grounds manager for Assumption College in Worcester, [Massachusetts]"; and "Dorothy Skorupa...director of the F Street Community Center in Lincoln, [Nebraska]." |
