District previews ADA‑accessible board docs pilot and a donor‑funded video board for Bishop Stadium
Summary
District staff said they are vetting an ADA‑readable board‑management product and that a community fundraising effort is nearing the point of enabling purchase of a video scoreboard for Bishop Stadium, with an assurance letter from the Greater Manhattan Community Foundation expected before ordering.
District staff said they are vetting a board‑management product (Diligent Community) to make board agendas and policy documents ADA‑readable and more searchable on the district website, and that implementing such a system would require staff training.
Separately, administrators updated the board on a community fundraising effort to purchase a video scoreboard for Bishop Stadium. Staff said funds are being raised by a community group and that the district is working to secure an assurance letter from the Greater Manhattan Community Foundation describing how funds will be allocated, so the district can place an order during vendor price breaks around the new year. The district noted the project includes advertising and graphic production considerations and that outside partners plan to coordinate student media and graphic design opportunities as part of the board.
Staff said the district intends to purchase the video board with tax exemption where allowed and plans to partner with the fundraising group on implementation and student learning opportunities. The district will bring a pre‑donation form and additional vendor/contract details to the board for review.
Board members were also reminded to be cautious about posting board business on social media; trustees discussed the risk of serial meeting concerns and encouraged using the public meeting as the forum for official discussion.
