Board hears video-board fundraising plan and LED lighting estimates; presenter projects revenue
Summary
Officials previewed a video-board sponsorship proposal expected to yield marketing and fundraising revenue (presenter estimated more than $500,000 over several years) and discussed LED field-lighting conversion quotes just over $200,000 and sound-system quotes between $100,000–$250,000.
At the work meeting the board reviewed a one-page proposal for a video board intended as a revenue-generating, marketing and educational opportunity for district athletics and indoor events. The chair presented fundraising models and said sponsors have expressed interest; he estimated the project could generate more than $500,000 in positive revenue over the next few years.
Board members also discussed stadium lighting and LED conversion quotes. The project cost for LED conversion was described as just over $200,000; board members mentioned additional lift rental costs (around $5,000) and at least two other price checks were being obtained. Speakers noted sound-system quotes ranged from about $100,000 to $250,000 and that a video board could provide integrated audio for field events.
The board asked staff to continue gathering quotes and timing so lighting and sound work could be completed before the upcoming sports season.
