Kiski Area SD approves sponsorship model, celebrates grant; board discusses small gas/oil lease
Summary
Administrators described a Spitzer Toyota sponsorship package (five signs, $5,000 first year with subsequent lower annual fees) intended for district athletic venues; the board also heard that the DICK'S Sporting Goods Foundation awarded $15,000 for flag football and discussed a small gas and oil lease on a quarter‑acre parcel where EQT expressed interest in subsurface work.
Administrators presented a proposed multi‑year advertising sponsorship with Spitzer Toyota that would place up to five signs at district athletic venues and inside the gym. The package described in board materials is structured as $5,000 for year one (five signs), $3,000 for year two and $3,000 for year three, with the board voting annually to renew; funds are intended for general district use and to cover sign production costs. Administration said the program would be expanded to other businesses using a standard draft form after the Spitzer pilot.
Separately, the board acknowledged a $15,000 grant from the DICK'S Sporting Goods Foundation Sports Matter program to fund a new flag football team that the board previously approved; administrators said that amount should cover first‑year costs. The board thanked the staff member (Mister Nolf/Jake) who applied for the grant.
Board members also discussed a small district parcel in Washington Township identified in a survey; representatives from EQT approached the district about a line or nearby well. Administration described the parcel as roughly a quarter acre behind a Kubota dealership; a referenced royalty split example was "15% of whatever comes out of that well by times our acreage." Board members discussed selling the parcel while potentially retaining mineral rights or pursuing a lease; no decision was recorded.
The board also briefly reviewed routine bills and line‑items, asked for clarification on vendor descriptions (example: a $106,000 entry labeled "safety supplies" was clarified as security equipment for an intermediate school project) and agreed to pull personnel item 14.1 (athletic supplemental positions) until coaching evaluations are reviewed in executive session.
