The third and final phase of the Hamilton Field Project, consisting of the Track and interior Football and Soccer Fields is currently in the design and approval process.  The School District is working closely with the Town of Dover in an effort to resolve normal questions and concerns that usually arise within the scope of any construction project.  We are hopeful that all issues can come to a satisfactory resolution in our endeavor to bring this long term project to a close.  The theme of the project, Building Our Future While Honoring Our Traditions, provides new facilities that also pay homage to our proud history. We will provide future updates as available.

 

 

From time to time, erroneous information tends to be distributed, quite often the result of a simple misunderstanding rather than any intentional effort to mislead. I have recently been advised that a rumor abounds which indicates that the Board of Education did not approve Hamilton Field for the annual fireworks display.  This is simply not accurate.  The Board of Education approved use of facilities at the March meeting.  The only request is that the newly installed Turf Field  not be open, but that we utilize seating in the stands and on the track.  The chance of accidental damage is too great, and neither the Town of Dover nor the Dover Board of Education has insurance or resources that would cover what could be very costly repairs to the artificial turf carpet as a result of this activity.  This is the same procedure as was utilized last year, which seemed to prove very effective.  The only fee that will be charged is to cover the overtime costs for the Board of Education custodians.  In sum, the Board is very proud to work with the Town in celebration of this most important holiday, celebrating the Declaration of Independence, and all will continue as per last year.
