At least one Albemarle County high school is ready to roll out artificial turf on its football field this fall. Monticello High has locked down the $600,000 necessary, thanks to a donor who paid the balance last week, reports NBC-29.
The county’s other high schools are still short. In February, a major donor had to “postpone” a $225,000 contribution to Albemarle High because of the economic downturn.
Charlottesville schools still haven’t decided whether to move forward with artificial turf, given the lingering questions over health risks, which C-VILLE explored in a cover feature in January.
