(MSC News)--The Jackson Heights school district will not be adding baseball and softball programs at this time.

Despite student and patron interest in the formation of baseball and softball teams, the Holton Recorder reports the USD 335 Board of Education this week voted 5-1 against adding the two sports at the Jackson Heights High School.

The Board cited concerns with enrollment sustainability, available facilities and available resources.

Board members noted the possibility of taking the matter up again in the future.

District patron Russell Bacon approached the board in August with the proposal to add baseball and softball, suggesting the programs could be paid for through donations.
