EDWARDSVILLE - During their regular meeting on July 28, 2025, the Edwardsville Community Unit School District #7 Board of Education unanimously voted down proposed fixes to the Edwardsville High School track. Superintendent Dr. Patrick Shelton explained that the original project, which was approved by the Board earlier this year, did not address findings related to construction or design.

The first change is the addition of a 4-inch conduit and two 2.5-inch conduits for timing equipment and potential later additions, valued at $40,000. The second change is a 4-foot perimeter concrete walk on the exterior of the track, valued at $63,000. “We did not include design or construction contingencies in this project,” Shelton said. “We didn’t know there needed to be.

Did you know that nearly 80% of the world’s population lives under light-polluted skies, unable to see the Milky Way with the naked eye? This startling fact underscores just how precious truly dark skies have become. For those who crave the awe of celestial wonders, finding the right stargazing location is essential—especially on clear summer nights when the heavens are at their most vibrant. Understanding What Makes a Great Stargazing Spot Not all stargazing locations are created equal. Several factors contribute to the quality of the view and the overall experience: Darkness: Artificial light from cities and towns significantly diminishes the visibility of stars and planets.
