Athletics update: board hears plans to test lower-cost field house speaker options before basketball season
Summary
The athletics representative told the board they are working with Brighton Music Center on cost-saving speaker/acoustic solutions for the field house and expect testing results this week to inform a quick decision before basketball season starts.
The Ambridge Area School District athletics representative updated the board on plans to address acoustics and the speaker system in the field house, saying they had contacted Brighton Music Center about lower-cost solutions and expected product testing soon.
"They have a few other suggestions, that I believe will save us quite a bit of money, but still, hopefully do the job for us," the athletics presenter said, adding that Brighton Music Center will meet with the head of maintenance and bring options for testing. The presenter emphasized urgency: "We would have to move on it pretty quickly with the basketball season up and coming."
The board asked staff to share test results with members once the vendor and maintenance staff complete their review; no formal funding or contract award was approved at the meeting. Further action would be scheduled once maintenance and the vendor report back with cost and performance details.
Next steps: Facilities and maintenance will test the vendor’s suggested products and report back to the athletics committee and full board so a procurement or repair decision can be made before the season.
