District considers advertising plan to offset scoreboard costs
Summary
The district ordered new gym scoreboards and proposed selling ad spots (20 total) to cover costs; staff suggested moving from three‑year $500 spots to a five‑year $400 spot to help fund installation.
Trustees discussed new gym scoreboards and a proposed ad‑selling strategy to offset purchase costs.
Staff reported the ordered scoreboards are standard digital boards with side panels for advertising; video boards would cost about $100,000, while the ordered standard boards plus panels were less expensive. There are 20 advertising spots between the two sides and 13 were already sold under the prior agreement. Staff proposed lengthening agreements to five years and reducing the per‑spot price (from $500 for three years to $400 for five years) so ad revenue could cover the scoreboard costs.
Installation and final pricing remain tentative; staff asked the board for a concrete decision at the August meeting to allow advertisements to be in place before school starts if the boards arrive on time.
