Board OKs nearly $150,000 marquee sign project to upgrade campus messaging and safety alerts
Summary
Trustees approved a districtwide marquee sign purchase and installation from Fort Bragg Electric described in the meeting as "just shy of $150,000," intended to modernize school marquees, allow safety-app broadcasts and provide refreshed exterior signs for multiple campuses.
District staff presented a proposal from Fort Bragg Electric to replace campus marquee signs and install new cabinets where needed. Staff described the total cost as "just shy of a $150,000" to install and purchase signs for multiple sites. The plan uses some existing infrastructure at sites where cabinets are already present, limiting the need for new structures except at Redwood.
Trustees discussed safety uses of the signs and how the district's safety app could broadcast lockdown or other safety messages directly to marquees. A motion to approve the marquee sign proposal was made, seconded and approved by roll call. Staff said the new signs would allow future messaging flexibility while the district will manage security controls to avoid unauthorized changes.
