Board hears pitch to sell local-business presentation time as potential revenue source
Summary
A board member suggested offering paid presentation or ad opportunities to local businesses (live or preproduced) to generate revenue for the district; members asked for legal review and further detail before advancing the idea.
During new business, a board member proposed exploring paid local-business presentations and sponsored materials as a supplemental revenue source for the district. The idea included short live presentation slots during meetings or preproduced promotional materials or booklets that the district could sell or host for a fee.
Several members liked the creative thinking but said the program would require legal review, a clear policy framework and a sensitivity to public-school advertising norms. A member cautioned that policies and vendor selection would need careful development; the board asked administration and legal counsel to investigate feasibility and return with options if appropriate.
No formal action was taken; the proposal will be studied further.
