• Bennett School District removes former baseball field lights as plans for site's future take shape (kcrg.com) — Bennett’s former school baseball field is being cleared for a new community use after aging light poles were removed, including one that fell over this winter. The Bennett Community School District is gathering resident input on ideas like pickleball courts, event space, a dog park, or a prairie-style green space with a walking path that students could also use for science classes.
