Board approves new video scoreboard; vendor says installation could happen as soon as July
Summary
After a presentation by a vendor and representative Jerry Zalenski, the Ringgold board approved a new video scoreboard proposal and discussed size, replay capability, and timing; vendor said installation could be possible in July if site power and piping are addressed.
The Ringgold School District board approved installation of a new stadium video scoreboard following a presentation from a representative identified as Jerry Zalenski and a vendor representative. The board voted in favor; the approval was recorded during the meeting and taken alongside related facility items.
Zalenski and the vendor described a full video display intended to sit near the 50-yard line and noted the district’s intention to retain the 'Joe Montano Stadium' lettering on the new board. The presenter described a configuration with a fixed-digit scoreboard area and a separate video section that can display replays and other content. The vendor said the video portion can be used for replays from previous games and explained that the design allows a separate fixed scoring box for low-tech events so outsiders can operate the scoreboard without using a district laptop.
The transcript contains slightly inconsistent size references: the presenter first described a video display component as roughly 12 feet tall by 25 feet wide, and later described the overall structure in terms of an approximately 25-foot height. The vendor stressed that installation timing depends on power and ancillary site work; he said, "my expectation would be that I would be installing this in July," assuming prompt completion of preparatory work and permitting.
Board members asked questions about permitted replay use and sightlines; the presentation included a rendering of the proposed board. The meeting record does not include a final price or detailed contract terms for the scoreboard in the public discussion; those details were not provided in the transcript.
