Astroturf is dangerous to those who participate in sports and is repugnant.

I believe, there is much more need within the school setting itself than artificial turf outside. Monies should be spent in areas that would benefit our children in the core areas of learning before ever considering spending an amount of money as such at this level. I do understand the safety concern with conventional fields and injuries occurring from slippage, but the need is far greater for the instructional/curriculum side of this argument.

There are better alternatives to artificial turf, including those incorporating rubber padding beneath the surface turf. Too many injuries on existing artificial turf choices.

Artficial turf is bad for injuries, very bad enviornmentally and terribly expensive. Sports are dangerous enough without this bad idea.
Besides, Henderson County is one of the top farm counties in the state. Us putting down artificial turf is "whacky."

Artificial turf is extremely dangerous for students and should not be placed on the fields. The kinds of scrapes and cuts it places on there body is incredibly painful. Perhaps before voting for this, the board and voters should go take a slide in shorts on the artificial turf field down from fruitland baptist church. Incredibly painful! Not only is it putting students in harms way, but will the county be able to fund proper sanitation of the fields?

The natural thing is always better; God made; God provides; God waters and He does not charge us a dime.
