The Spokes: -Interview with members of the educational board discussing the importance of building a new sports complex and how this isn’t just a luxury but more of a necessity
-Interviews with athletes and coaches that use the fields at the school discussing how they feel the conditions of the field currently are and their thoughts on new fields being put in and how much of a difference this would make in their games and practices
-Interviews with tax-paying community members about whether or not they have any concerns paying more money (the project is projected to cost between $4 and $6 million dollars, and about $20 million just into renovating the district middle school) and their thoughts on the importance of putting in a new complex at this point in time, considering the longer they wait the more money they’ll have to pay
