Parent urges short-term fixes to football field lighting, scoreboard and PA system
Summary
Janine Fay, a parent and public commenter, described problems with rented lighting, a malfunctioning scoreboard and a poor public-address system at the district football field and urged the board to consider short-term improvements while a larger facilities plan proceeds.
Janine Fay, who identified herself as the parent of a high-school junior and an attendee at district football games, used public comment time to urge short-term improvements to the district football facilities.
Fay said the district currently relies on rented lights that are noisy and inconsistent, making it difficult for photographers and players to see. "We don't have proper lighting ... they make it difficult for the kids to see," she told the board, and added that the scoreboard "doesn't always work" and that the microphone and PA system produce poor audibility for announcements.
Fay acknowledged the district has a larger facilities plan but asked whether the board could undertake smaller fixes now—such as repairing the scoreboard or improving the microphone system—to improve game‑day operations and student morale. She noted the costs but said even modest short-term repairs would be appreciated by families and athletes.
The board thanked her for the comment; no immediate action was taken during the meeting, and the administration did not offer specific short-term remedies on the record.
