Do you feel it is beneficial or necessary to have a new athletic complex?

Jackson Redfern, junior

“I do believe it’s beneficial for Algonquin to have a new athletic complex for many reasons. I feel like it’s safer and it will help our sports teams be more competitive. Also the ADA-compliant stands will help lots of people.” ough.

“The community has to come out and vote about whether or not it will be funded by each of the two towns,” Bevan said. “So that’s where I think it’s going to be important for the school department and the towns to work togethser.”

More details on the specific athletic complex elements can be found on the Gonkplex website, run by the Athletic Complex Project Committee.

“Not completely. Some should be renovated and I know the tennis courts are kind of rough...The money could be better spent fixing the school WiFi or intercoms.”

Juliana Loizeaux, sophomore

“It is necessary for safety. The track isn’t safe right now and it’s falling apart, but also the field is hard to play on. Some sports have to travel off-campus to play, which isn’t convenient.”
