Lincoln High seeks $7,200 fence funds; Family Fund Extravaganza asks board to consider sponsorship
Summary
A Lincoln High speaker requested $7,200 in contingency funds to finish baseball outfield fencing; organizers of the Family Fund Extravaganza sought district help in finding sponsors for free, educational live shows at a community festival.
A speaker identified as David Decker asked the board for $7,200 in contingency funding to complete outfield fencing on Lincoln High School’s baseball field, saying the school had saved that sum and sought a district match to finish the left and right outfields.
Decker told the board that staff obtained three quotes and identified the lowest bidder for the work. He requested that the board consider allocating $7,200 from contingency funds to finish the fence and noted the school’s plans would be presented under new business later in the meeting.
Separately, James Van Scoy and a partner, identified in the transcript as Sala Van Scully, presented on the Family Fund Extravaganza, a free community festival they said provides carnival activities, inflatables and educational live shows for children. Van Scoy’s partner said the festival typically secures corporate sponsors to cover the expense of bringing performers from out of state.
Festival organizers asked the board to consider sponsorships or to refer their request to the superintendent for recommendation. Board members responded that the superintendent would determine whether to place the festival sponsorship on a future agenda.
No board votes or formal allocations occurred during the meeting on either request; both items were presented as requests and potential future agenda items.
