Fletcher Elementary School will be getting a new, inclusive playground in 2025.
Fletcher Principal Amanda Sischo said that in addition to replacing the bedding and removing an outdated playground piece, the district is purchasing a wrap-around piece that allows students in wheelchairs to be placed on a platform to crawl up and slide down from. Meanwhile, the PTA is raising money for a new merry-go-round as well as a teeter-totter.
The playground is anticipated to be installed in summer 2025.
District taxpayers approved a $100,000 capital outlay in May to improve playground equipment at Fletcher, while the PTA has been raising money through grants and donations.
