Berrigan: Are there better uses for Cape district’s money?

I continue to question the Cape Henlopen School District’s need for funds when it has spent money on two athletic fields behind the two new schools on Savannah Road and continues to spend money on those fields. As I walked by today, I noticed the district is now adding bleachers to those fields. I’ve never read what the total cost is for those two fields.

What a perfect location that would have been for district offices instead of buying new land somewhere.

Why would grade schoolers and middle schoolers need two athletic fields behind those schools? I wonder if Cape is also going to add a $300,000 digital scoreboard, as it did at the high school.

Superintendent Bob Fulton, in my humble opinion, is more interested in sports than the quality of education he should be focusing on for our future leaders.
