Concerns regarding the cleanliness and handicap accessibility of the current sand and blacktop playground at Capitol View Elementary School has led to an effort to replace the surface.
The school's Parent Teacher Association picked up the project this summer, said president Tiphany Rumage. The group hopes to substitute the sand and blacktop with rubber.
"It was something teachers just kept talking about," she said.
Adam Jack, a physical education teacher at Capitol View, 320 E. 16th St., said he has seen more than one child slip and fall on the blacktop because of stray sand. Other teachers have complained about the mess it makes inside the building. [More]
