Klamath Falls City Schools would like your input in a ThoughtExchange asking:

As we consider the future of Modoc Field, what are your thoughts on the proposal to name the Klamath Union High School track in honor of longtime coach and teacher Ken Coffman, and what impact do you feel his legacy has had on our community?

To clarify, KFCS is seeking input on naming the track only. Modoc Field itself will not be renamed.
