Treynor board approves $129,000 digital scoreboards after community pledge
Summary
The Treynor Community School District board voted 5-0 to accept a $129,000 proposal to install a 9x16 digital scoreboard in the west gym after an anonymous community member offered to support the change; the board discussed using ScoreVision software and student involvement for content.
The Treynor Community School District Board of Education voted unanimously March 10 to accept a $129,000 proposal to purchase and install a 9x16 digital scoreboard in the west gym. The motion, offered by Mr. Dreyer and seconded by Mr. Christensen, carried 5-0.
Board members said an anonymous community member offered to support the cost of moving to a fully digital scoreboard. The recommended system is a 9x16 unit from Digital Scoreboard Picks with ScoreVision software, which the district preferred for its user interface and frequent updates. The board discussed a potential power-supply upgrade and the possibility of creating a student-led club or class to manage scoreboard content as a learning opportunity.
The motion approved "the proposal from Digital Scoreboards in the amount of $129,000 for the purchase and installation of digital scoreboards in the west gym as presented" (motion by Mr. Dreyer; second Mr. Christensen). The vote was 5-0 in favor. Board members said the district will finalize installation details and any needed electrical work before installation.
The decision follows administrative discussion of options and cost-effectiveness; the board did not record additional fundraising commitments beyond the anonymous community member’s offered support. The board moved the scoreboard item from discussion to action earlier in the meeting before taking the vote.
