Summary

Vicki Brock, a retired veteran and parent, proposed fundraising to donate and install a rolling flag display in the high‑school gym to honor First Lieutenant Ashley White; she estimated the cost at about $6,700 and said installation would be handled with school staff and boosters.

Public commenter Vicki Brock told the board she would like to fundraise and donate a rolling flag display for the school gym in honor of First Lieutenant Ashley White.

Brock described the display and said she had contacted school staff (including the athletic director and Mr. Swisher) about possible installation locations and logistics. She said the project would be paid through community donations and boosters and that she expected the flag would be donated and installed without district funding. Brock stated a price of about $6,700 for the flag and installation as she described it and offered to provide pictures and a flyer to the district.

Board members asked about timeline and installation logistics; staff said they have a scissor lift and would work with Brock and the boosters. No board member expressed opposition on the record and Brock said she would continue coordinating with administration and volunteers.

The board received the comment as part of the public comment period; no formal board action was recorded.
