KIRKSVILLE, MO --
The Kirksville School Board is in negotiations with the city to continue use of the North Park Complex for athletic events.
The tentative contract is a five-year agreement that will cost the school a $6,000 facility usage fee each year.
The Kirksville schools would get the ball fields for 15 hours per week.
The school board will give the contract a final review and put it up for approval next month. The Kirksville City Council has informally agreed to the contract, and will vote on it in the future.
