**ATTENTION... DEADLINE APPROACHING**
Tuesday, August 16, 2022, is the LAST DAY to file an affidavit for candidacy to run for school board.
The district office will remain OPEN until 5:00 PM on Tuesday (8/16/22).
The filing fee is $2.00.
Central Parents and Students,
I am writing to provide the latest update on the progress of the stadium project. The last couple of weeks have not been great for weather. Though this has not affected every aspect of the project, like installing storm drains, electrical, and drainage; it has delayed the concrete curbing work specifically for the turf field.
Central is implementing its contingency plans for the first two home games. Glencoe-Silver Lake and Central have come to an agreement and we will host these games at GSL. More specific details will be shared once all logistics are completed.
The updated construction schedule is:
Week of August 22: Field curb installed
Week of August 29: Field tolerance completed
Weeks of Sept. 5-22: Turf install
Sept. 23: Turf complete
I know this is not positive news and part of me is hesitant to put out specific dates because of the emotional swings that can happen if things get behind (like they just did). I have always tried my best to be open and transparent, which applies to both good and bad news.
Central Public Schools will be updating players through the coaches and the AD’s office about the specific logistics for practices and games. We will be updating our website and social media to update the general public as we get closer to the games so Raider fans will know where to go and what to do.
In partnership,
Tim Schochenmaier
Superintendent

Hello Central Families and Students,
On Thursday Central Public Schools received an update on the installation of the turf field. I want to share with you a detailed plan for the fall so everyone will know what to expect. As you will see written many times, flexibility is the key. Please offer patience and grace to coaches and others at the school because sometimes things that change are just frankly out of our control.
Last week of July:
Sand is getting finalized, electrical will begin to be installed.
First week of August:
Concrete "curb" is installed which the field will be placed inside of. This is a key component that the field attaches to. Electrical work continues.
August 8-12:
Final grade/crown is completed.
August 15 - Sept 1:
Turf installers are on site installing new turf. Base level of track is installed. Light poles go up. Bleachers are moved to the track.
Sept 2:
First game on Central's new field.
-- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, that is the plan. Please continue reading for the details and contingencies if things don't go our way and plans for things we already know about.
Practices from August 15 - September 2:
The high school team will practice at Friendship Park and the MS teams will practice at the elementary school. After the field is installed, Coach Kosek will communicate with his coaching staff what the practice schedule will be.
Sept. 2, First Game:
It is the intent to play at Central for this game. Many factors could change that which will be explained here. Weather. If we get poor weather that pushes back the turf install, we will have to adjust. Lights. We already know a specific transformer is on backorder. Our lights will not be ready on Sept. 2. AD Vossen has connected with Lake Crystal to move the start time for this game to 4pm; thus lights will not be needed. They have agreed. We will now work on getting refs for this event. Stay tuned on these details. GSL has already been contacted and Supt. Sonju has agreed to let Central play on the GSL field as a back-up if there are any additional delays.
Bleachers:
We are moving the small sets of bleachers to the base of the track. The large ones are off the table because of how they need to be bolted down. We are unsure of the exact capacity, but clearly it is not 1000+. Bleachers will be a first come, first serve basis. Please be prepared that spectators will need to bring a fold-up chair if they want to sit beyond this capacity.
Parking:
The first game is going to be a bit hectic. Please use the student parking lot in front for this game. Afterwards, the back parking lot should have class 5 down and the new parking lot by the elementary school should be completed.
Band/Scoreboard/Announcements:
We are working on solutions for all of these, and what happens this year will not be typical after project completion.
Pressbox:
There isn't one and there will not be one until the project is complete. We may have to allow opposing teams a small spot in the bleachers.
Care of the turf:
You will see signage and fencing around the turf. It is imperative that dirt/mud, sunflower seeds and gum do not get on the turf. These products can clog the drainage system under the surface and the field can be damaged. We will have class 5 paths to the spectator and cleat changing area for this year. Please stay on them. After completion of the stadium this will not be an issue because it will be a hard surface leading to the field.
Central is not the first school that has gone through major renovations; we will get through this. Again, please be flexible and I will send periodic updates districtwide.
In partnership,
Tim Schochenmaier
Superintendent
