The Caldwell County School Board is moving forward with making repairs to the high school track, and starting the negotiation process and purchasing procedures to acquire land adjacent to the baseball fields.
At Monday night’s meeting, Superintendent Jeremy Roach said the track at the high school is in need of repair, and due to its current condition the district cannot hold competitions. He says they have funds previously secured to cover the project.
