As a runner who attended college on an athletic scholarship, our school board & county have been doing a disservice to our children for decades! Good runners can very easily earn scholarships to colleges but without an actual track to practice on to reach their BEST puts them at a distinct disadvantage over other student athletes in our area. Track encompasses boys and girls & offers many options within the sport for kids who might otherwise not play a sport the entire year. Think about how many kids lives might be different if this had been an option for the past 20 yrs! I was told by a teacher & coach when they built the football field a track was coming in the next few yrs.....we see how that worked out! It is BEYOND time our school had one!

Please, this track will not only serve students as athletes during school but, will allow use outside of school for wellness.

Running students on an highway is an accident waiting to happen. “Then a track will be built, especially if it’s a DOA”. Build it now before you do have that to consider!

Please sign this petition to not only benefit the CHSS program but for Hatteras Island. Our track and field teams have won honors so a track and field complex would be what they deserve and more.

Why with the success of the track and field program at CHSS do they not get a track? What's fair for the other schools in the county is certainly fair for Hatteras as well. If the school board doesn't approve this it is a slap in the face to the students of CHSS and shows obviously where their bias lies!

I will be absent from the meeting unfortunately. I have been a coach of Cape Hatteras Elementary School GoFar program for 3 years now. We have over 30 runners in gofar of which many are very passionate about running and their future in track and cross country. It is not fair to these students that all other schools in the county have the opportunity to train on a track, and our schools who have built very competitive running programs are not given the same opportunities.

Much needed facility.
