Joliet Township High School Board has a lot on its agenda tonight, including buying a $4.3 million warehouse to store its buses and decide where the Steelmen should play next fall.
I've heard from folks who will be there tonight to remind the school board of its promise during the referendum to build two field houses. That promise was to provide equal facilities between Joliet West and Joliet Central high schools.
Folks do not think renting out Silver Cross Field for Steelmen games is equal. They want Central to have a football stadium with lockers and bathrooms - comparable to Joliet West.
The board meets at 7 p.m. tonight at the district office, 300 Caterpillar Drive.
Check out this blog tonight for more details.
