Community debates million dollar upgrade for sports facilities
During a recent government meeting, discussions centered around the potential upgrade of sports facilities, particularly focusing on the scoreboard and speaker systems. Concerns were raised regarding the effectiveness of current systems, with feedback indicating they do not meet all user expectations.

One board member proposed reallocating funds—initially earmarked for a new video board—toward enhancing the existing scoreboards and installing a public address (PA) system in auxiliary fields. This suggestion aimed to ensure equitable access to sound systems for all teams and activities, especially as new scoreboards and lighting are being introduced.

The board expressed general support for upgrading the facilities, recognizing the benefits for students and the community. However, there was a call for clarity on the necessity of a video board, with questions about whether alternatives could provide adequate sound without the hefty price tag of approximately $600,000.

Members acknowledged the importance of improving safety and functionality, particularly in lighting and sound systems, while also considering the best use of the allocated $1 million budget. The discussions highlighted a desire for quality improvements that would maximize the impact of the investment across the district's sports facilities.
