All sports, entirely Bremerton
Bremerton School District facing another firestorm
November 20th, 2009 at Fri, 20th, 2009 at 2:37 pm by wesleyremmerThe Kitsap Sun checked in today with an interesting story, a developing story that figures only to heat up as details emerge.
The crux: All signs point to the newly installed track at Bremerton High School being below par.
I wrote a story in June about the project, and at the time, all seemed well.
Five months later, it’s come to light that not only is the track narrow in terms of lanes — the outside lane is narrower than the inside seven — but the surface is bumpy. How can a brand-new track not even be flat? How did this happen? And who’s to blame?
For all the great things that go on in and around Bremerton schools, it’s hard not to dwell on stories such as this and others of sour nature (remember what happened with former superintendent Bette Hyde’s contract, and how the school board handled the situation?).
I am digging for more and look forward to reporting as the issue heats up.
A special board meeting is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. Nov. 23 at the district administration building, 134 North Marion Avenue in Bremerton.
