Board discusses scoreboard replacement; proposal to sell advertising panels to offset $40k installation cost
Summary
Administrators reported new gym scoreboards have been ordered and proposed selling advertising panels (about 20 spots) on a multi‑year commitment to help pay installation costs; 13 of the spots are already sold under earlier agreements.
Scott told the board the district has ordered new gym scoreboards and described plans for advertising panels to recover costs. He said the video boards with side panels can cost far more than regular scoreboards but that the district ordered standard scoreboards with ad panels; "This past one, it was 3 years, dollars 500 apiece. I would look at maybe a 5 year or $400 a piece," Scott said, arguing longer commitments could make the project more sustainable. He estimated combined installation and advertisement panel work at around $40,000.
Scott said roughly 13 spots are already sold and recommended final decisions at the August meeting so advertisements could be in place before school starts. The board discussed pricing and whether to adjust pass prices and student admission policies in coordination with the advertising plan.
