School District to Bill for Glenwood Field Damage

Millburn School District officials have been after a teen driver and a 22-year-old passenger drove onto the field cutting donuts into the grass and said they will bill those involved for the costs of the repairs.

Board member Regina Truitt, who heads the board's property committee, told the board that so far damages included $600 for sprinkler repair and $800 to repair the field itself.

"The people involved will be sent a bill for all the repairs," Truitt told the board during a report from the property committee meeting.

The damage occured on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Millburn Police responded to Glenwood School in Short Hills on a report of a Sports Utility Vehicle being driven on the field and found a teen driver driver and a 22-year-old passenger. They charged the teen, who had just received his learner's permit, with reckless driving and destroying recreational property. Police charged the 22-year-old with using a juvenile to commit a crime.
