High school proposes Letterman-style sweatshirt to revive student recognition; board discusses cost and uptake
A high-school staff member presented a Letterman-style sweatshirt proposal to offer an affordable alternative to traditional letterman jackets as a way to recognize academic and extracurricular achievement.

The presenter described a uniform design with limited customization, local printing through Travco, and tiered pricing: a fully customized package priced at $76.50 and lower options down to $59. The design would allow addition of chevrons or patches after each season at an estimated cost of $5–$10 per addition. The presenter said the project aims to keep costs low and accessible, and to rely on booster clubs or student organizations to help promote initial adoption; "Right now, we're at 2," they said when asked about orders.

Board members raised practical questions about inclusion of robotics, costs for future additions, and potential booster-club subsidies. The presenter said a blank space on the back could accommodate less-common activities and that the project team will pursue social-media outreach and other promotion if the board had suggestions. The board did not take a formal vote on the proposal at the meeting; the presenter intends to collect orders through the end of the week for pre-holiday delivery.
