An update was heard concer ning the HES playground areas. The climbing structure between the buildings has been lowered to less than six feet. The large swings are being removed from the playground and wood chips are to be spread out under the remain ing equipment. These changes were made with safety in mind. There was some discussion about pursuing some new equipment. The next council meeting will be held on Monday, Dec. 2, at 6:30 p.m. in the HES staff room. The public is invited to attend and hear updates on the new computer systems, and the future addition to the elementary school.
