Citizen raises concern over use of Trojan logo on campaign signs; superintendent says district pursuing trademark protections
Summary
A resident reported that campaign signs used a Trojan head similar to the district's and asked the board to enforce logo use policy; the superintendent said the district is working on trademarking its logo and will consult legal counsel.
Stephen Meyer addressed the board during public comment to report campaign signs that he said used the district Trojan logo without authorization. Meyer said he had emailed the superintendent asking for action to enforce district policy on use of logos and asked whether the district's legal team could pursue enforcement.
Superintendent Andrew Shaw responded that the district is working on trademarking the logo and that he would post a question to the district attorney to clarify enforcement options. Shaw said the district has begun the trademarking process and that officers were working with counsel to determine next steps.
The board took note and the administration said it would follow up with legal counsel and report back to the board.
