Board approves $3,500 Tri County sponsorship for softball program
Summary
The Trousdale County Board of Education approved a sponsorship agreement with Tri County that will provide $3,500 for the softball program (presented as $500 per year for five years plus an annual $200 renewal donation); the team will erect a sponsor sign consistent with the fundraising flyer.
The Trousdale County Board of Education approved a sponsorship contract with Tri County to support the high school softball program. The agreement described a total donation of $3,500 structured as $500 per year over five years and included Tri County paying a $200 annual renewal fee to support the junior-senior middle-school softball program as well.
Under the terms discussed in the meeting packet, the softball team will erect and maintain a customized sponsorship sign at the gold sponsorship level for the duration of the contract. Board members noted the arrangement is similar to other recent athletics sponsorships and called it “hard to turn down free money.”
A board member questioned whether the contract language and pricing were necessary and noted that the advertised prices appeared consistent with other solicitations, but the Chair noted all contracts require board approval. The motion to approve the Tri County contract with the softball team was made and carried by voice vote.
The board did not discuss additional contractual changes or alternative sponsors at the meeting. The sponsorship will proceed under the terms presented in the packet.
