The South Eastern School District school board approved the plan to install a turf field at Kennard-Dale High School in February. The agenda from the Feb. 20 board meeting stated that the budget for the project was $814,225. It was paid for through the school district's capital reserve fund and did not require taxes to be raised. For Kennard-Dale, having a grass field became a headache in recent years. Sharing it with sports like field hockey and lacrosse, the football team found that the playing surface was often a mess by the end of the season, according to Grube. York Daily Record
