The Hutchinson USD 308 School Board will seek approval of several amendments to the shared facilities agreement with Hutchinson Community College during Monday’s agenda session. The agreement includes the use of Gowans Stadium and the USD 308 Complex.

The amended agreement now includes information related to the use and care costs of the game soccer field located at the soccer complex at 23rd and Severance. Hutchinson Community College will pay for 30% of the maintenance costs of the game field which at this time is $15,000. We have also amended the agreement to indicate that HCC staff will be responsible for the custodial services and the grounds clean up after all USD 308 events at Gowans Stadium.

The associated cost to USD 308 would be $7,740. The district feels the change will keep them from bringing in off duty staff and paying overtime to staff for the cleanup of the Gowans’ after home events.
