Board reviews scoreboard requests and approves new middle‑school name Poplar Hill Middle School
Summary
Siegel High requested a $70,000 center‑field scoreboard funded by its booster account; Christiana Middle will relocate a used scoreboard for roughly $3,175 plus materials; the board announced the new middle school name—Poplar Hill Middle School, Bobcats, hunter green and gold.
The board reviewed several facilities and naming matters. Siegel High asked to replace its baseball scoreboard with a new unit to be placed in center field at a cost of $70,000; staff said the booster account will fund the purchase and the district’s insurance coverage requires board approval. Staff also presented a Christiana Middle School request to relocate an existing Riverdale High School scoreboard with relocation and installation costs of about $3,175 and approximately $250 for electrical materials; maintenance staff will provide the labor for the electrical connection.
Separately, the board announced the name for the new middle school: Poplar Hill Middle School (PHM), with the Bobcats as the mascot and hunter green and gold as the school colors. Staff also noted a proposed partnership with Play On Sports to provide a branded school video portal and event coverage at Oakland High School; the agreement was attached in the agenda packet.
