Board approves district-wide LED video screens; staff project advertising revenue
Summary
The board approved a bid for new LED video boards at multiple venues — Neil Field, the Fieldhouse and the auditorium — with staff estimating about $70,000 per year in Fieldhouse advertising revenue. Installation and electrical work were discussed as next steps.
The New Castle board approved a vendor bid to install district-wide LED video boards and scoreboards at athletic and assembly venues.
District staff described the procurement as covering a 24-by-12 LED video board at Neil Field, two 16-by-9 displays in the Fieldhouse and two 12-by-6 wall-mounted screens for the auditorium. Superintendent (S2) and facilities staff (S4) said the vendor would provide equipment and installation; the district will handle associated electrical work. Superintendent projected advertising revenue for the Fieldhouse of "about $70,000" per year as a conservative estimate.
Board members emphasized the versatility of screens for community uses (welcoming videos, sponsor recognition, potential movie nights) and discussed logistics such as siting and timing for installation to avoid game interruptions. The motion to approve the bid was made and the board voted in favor.
