Savoy ISD board affirms maroon and white as major colors; allows black or gray accents
Summary
The Savoy ISD Board voted Sept. 8 to make maroon and white the district's primary colors for athletics and allow black or gray as accent colors; coaches and the athletic director were authorized to finalize jersey designs subject to superintendent approval.
The Savoy ISD Board of Trustees voted Sept. 8 to designate maroon and white as the district's major colors and permit black or gray as accent colors for athletic uniforms.
Board President Jeff Francis moved to delegate jersey-design decisions to coaches and the district athletic director, with final approval to rest with the superintendent. "Major colors are to be maroon and white with black or gray accent colors," the motion states. The motion was seconded by Drew Saltzman and carried on a 6–0 vote with one member absent.
The discussion followed public comment earlier in the meeting in which three residents raised differing views about uniform color choices; one resident urged tradition and consistent school colors while another said, "The color doesn't matter. We have more issues to be concerned about than the color of uniforms." The board’s action formalizes color policy for athletic jerseys; the superintendent (name not specified in the meeting record) will sign off on the final designs.
The vote was recorded as Yea: Mike Bomar, Jeff Francis, Joe Gilbert, Sandy Petree, Brian Pugh, Drew Saltzman; Absent: Bear Reed. No amendment to the motion was recorded.
