Loading...
Summary
The district told the committee the Liberty Athletic Club will reimburse the district $30,000 annually over seven years to sponsor new scoreboards at Liberty High School; Digital Scoreboards was selected as vendor and advertising rights will help the athletic club recoup costs, subject to the district's advertising policy.
District staff presented a three-party agreement enabling replacement of scoreboards in the Memorial Gym at Liberty High School. Under the proposed arrangement, the Liberty Athletic Club would reimburse the district $30,000 per year for seven years; staff said advertising revenue rights granted to the athletic club will assist in repayment. Digital Scoreboards was recommended as the vendor following the procurement review.
Staff thanked volunteer partners and technical staff who worked on specifications and noted mounting and gym-structural issues that facilities must address. Committee members asked about whether the athletic club will package and sell advertising and whether local businesses will be approached; one committee member who serves on the Bethlehem Chamber Board offered to promote the opportunity to local businesses. Staff said all advertising must comply with the school board’s advertising policy.
What happens next: the agreement and vendor recommendation will appear on the Sept. 22 board agenda for formal consideration.
