Board discusses scoreboard options, video scoreboards and potential fundraising
Summary
Trustees discussed a $15,000–$17,000 scoreboard plus roughly $9,000–$10,000 for installation, the possibility of a video scoreboard that could cost much more, and a Forest Park example where turf and related field work ran about $1.7M–$1.8M and was funded largely by donations.
Board members discussed options to upgrade the district's athletic facilities, including a scoreboard quoted at approximately $15,000–$17,000 with installation costs near $9,000–$10,000. "I'm going to say roughly uh it's about 15 to $17,000 for the scoreboard and another $9,000 to $10,000 to install it," the chair said while outlining cost estimates.
The conversation broadened to include the potential for a video scoreboard (hundreds of thousands of dollars) and a reference to Forest Park's experience, where the full turf and related improvements totaled roughly $1.7M–$1.8M and were paid through donations in that district. Board members discussed fundraising approaches and the likelihood of naming opportunities if donors covered large costs.
