Tempers flare at Auburn school board meeting

AUBURN -- Tempers flared and voices were raised as Auburn Enlarged City School District Board of Education members discussed Holland Stadium's role in a proposed capital project Monday.

The board is proposing an estimated $14.9 million capital project of which $3.5 million would be earmarked for renovations at Holland Stadium, including concrete work, lighting, the installation of synthetic turf, enhancing the walking track and additional parking.

The board's Long Range Planning Committee held a work session Monday to answer any questions board members had on the capital plan as well as go through the list of identified priorities and discern whether those priorities were appropriate or needed to be reviewed.
