Lancaster ISD previews Watchfire scoreboard replacements for ballfields and auxiliary gyms
Summary
District staff recommended replacing failing baseball/softball and auxiliary gym scoreboards with Watchfire systems and said capital-project funds will cover baseball/softball boards while other funding was identified for gym auxiliary boards; the total cost figure in the transcript was unclear and needs confirmation.
Dana Mosley presented proposals to replace aging and malfunctioning athletic scoreboards at Lady Tiger Field, Tiger Field and several auxiliary gyms.
"The current legacy boards we have at the softball and baseball field... the mixer boards are outdated, and the speakers are not working properly," Mosley told trustees and said the proposed solution would come from the vendor Watchfire.
Mosley said capital-project funding had been identified for the baseball and softball boards, and other funding sources had been identified for basketball auxiliary boards so the gyms can host sub varsity and freshman games and reduce wear on the main coliseum. The presentation referenced a total cost figure, but the transcript recorded the amount unclearly; staff said formal procurement and cost confirmation would follow legal guidance before any purchase order is finalized.
No formal board approval was requested or taken at the work session; the item is expected to come to a regular meeting for action after staff confirm pricing and procurement steps.
