New Kiser and Future Vision for Grimsley/Kiser Campus
Saturday’s School Board Retreat shared architectural renderings for the new Kiser and a site location analysis. Based on the site analysis, the recommended placement for the new Kiser is on GHS baseball and softball fields with a proposal to build new baseball and softball fields where Brooks is currently (Brooks will be rebuilt on the former Craven site by the Greensboro Arboretum). The presentation included a long-term vision for the entire complex. This presentation is in the first half of the meeting. Here is the link - you will have to scroll back to toward the beginning of the meeting:
