Football club asks board where T‑Mobile "Friday Night Lights" winnings were spent
Summary
A public comment by the High Point Football Club asked the board to account for winnings from the T‑Mobile "Friday Night Lights" sweepstakes and requested field upgrades; the chair said the board will research and respond within three weeks.
During the public comment period the chair read a submitted statement from Megan Winiak, identified as a Lafayette resident and president of the High Point Football Club, asking where the district placed the winnings from the T‑Mobile "Friday Night Lights" sweepstakes and requesting that any funds be used to improve the football field (including the sound system and scoreboard) for multiple sports and activities.
The comment noted that the club assumed contest winnings would be used to improve the football field and listed potential uses that would benefit cheerleading, track, night games and a prospective girls' football team. The chair responded that the district did not have an immediate answer on hand but would research the matter and provide an answer within about three weeks.
The board recorded the public comment and indicated staff will follow up; no formal action or allocation was decided during the meeting.
