In a recent government meeting, discussions centered around the potential installation of new scoreboards at various athletic facilities, including the gym, Alumni Field, and QMB Field. The proposed upgrades aim to enhance the district's sports infrastructure and generate additional revenue through advertising opportunities.

The meeting highlighted two primary packages for the scoreboard installations, with a focus on a center-hanging, two-sided scoreboard for the gym. While specific costs were not finalized, estimates suggested a potential savings of approximately $70,000 for one of the options. The board members expressed enthusiasm about the possibilities these upgrades could bring, not only for athletic events but also for other school activities, such as band festivals and graduation ceremonies.

The proposed scoreboards are expected to significantly improve the experience for both athletes and spectators, positioning the district as a more attractive venue for hosting events. This could lead to increased revenue from both event hosting and advertising, which could offset the costs of the installations.

Additionally, the scoreboards would serve educational purposes, allowing students in digital media classes to create and showcase their work, further integrating technology into the school curriculum. The board members emphasized the importance of moving away from outdated perceptions of the district, showcasing its capability to embrace modern technology.

As the board prepares for a decision, there is a clear consensus on the benefits these upgrades would bring to the district's facilities and its community. The next steps will involve finalizing the options and costs before presenting them for approval in an upcoming meeting.
