1 Kindle s Korner by Yankton School District. Crane Youngworth Field/Stadium Recommendations I would like to thank all of those involved with our three committees and the recommendations brought forth to the Yankton School Board for their consideration. A thank you to the people who came out to the Special School Board Meeting held at the Yankton Middle School Theater on November 8. We had very good public input and discussion. Further discussion and cost estimates for the recommendations were presented at the November 14 School Board Meeting. Opportunity for public input was also provided for those in attendance. There was no action taken on the recommendations. School Board action is tentatively planned for the December 12 School Board Meeting. The public is welcome to attend.
