So with the scoreboard, how long is the warranty and what does it cover? The warranty. Yeah. So the Oh, on the scoreboard. So the scoreboard itself, there is a basically a two-year L or warranty on parts, things like that. And then any installation, there's a one-year warranty on that. And then what type of maintenance or upkeep is needed for the new board? And then who will cover that? Any upkeep is would be on the district. So upkeep would be, you know, if something were, you know, to go wrong with that's all LED. So if something would go to wrong with an LED panel. So there's off the top of my head, I don't know how many panels are, but the the board is made up of individual panels that go together. So if there was something in there, we would, you know, obviously have to fix that for the scoreboard to work.

There are a number of ways in which we have successfully lobbied for things that have led to a lot of changes for us or for example the AAL that we talk about routinely and the idea of that every year this potential funding is held hostage. Um this is where lobbying matters, right? Um, and so getting your voices heard and all of those things, it it is is not necessarily the the idea that a a dollar spent to try to gain things later is is always beneficial and the collective of that. And so I'm appreciative that we work with other districts when doing that. So, thank you and I look forward to that information and status as well. I'm going to say something, President. Uh Wade, um I just I love the idea of just kind of looking at this and reassessing in the future. It um a lot of the community is watching our efforts right now.

So you can relate it to basically a light bulb. you know, if you have to replace a light bulb, you're just screwing up the light bulb. This is an actually LED panel that you would have to um do maintenance on or really the maintenance is not much. It would be if something were to fail to that. So, the vendor doesn't have any type of service um obligation as part of this contract or part of the purchase? No, it would just be within the warranty. And then there's approved, you know, there's approved people that that work on any of these scoreboards. So, and then this another um so in the agenda it says that you know community and high school events. It says movie nights and I'm just curious has there ever been a movie night at BPS? I don't know. I there's always one in the park.

They're watching which direction we go. And the fact is is you have a lot of the community who are seeking education elsewhere. So, I really want to encourage the district to kind of look at things at um you know, to be frank, um parents don't want politics in their kids' classrooms. And so we got to utilize these opportunities uh to kind of just see where we can kind of rein it back a little bit and get straight to academics and see what extra attachments we have because this is strings of money that pull out of the district, pull out of certain things that we can utilize more in the districts in the classrooms. So, if we can kind of just be proactive and reassess, you know, and just be um mindful of what serves all um and kind of just, you know, let politics be where they matter, but majority of the community does not want it in the classroom.

Yes. As far as the movie night goes, our student council um sponsors a movie night every fall in the stadium. And they've done that for as long as I can remember, you know, 15 years at least. Um they typically rent a company to come in and do a a large blowup screen and then obviously project it on there with you know the students come and boosters serve popcorn just out of gratus and then you know the students you know lay the blankets down and they just kind of watch a movie.

So um yeah, so it's um I mean I don't want to I don't know if we have an exact number, but pretty much every student um in the high school would definitely benefit from it. And then obviously with all the community um partners that you know I discussed, it even extends that far as well. Any other questions? Uh yeah. So were we BPS looking for a new scoreboard or is this kind of this fall in our lap? Hey, we want to do this. No, we have been looking for a new scoreboard. So there have been with our current scoreboard there have been a number of issues at least the past three years um to the point where we've basically done everything that we know and our contractors know to do with it.

and and our local nemesis that we like to beat too. U this name we do not speak out loud. U this is a wonderful place for our children to grow and learn and to live in a school for four years with a microcosm of what the real world is when they get out into college into the working world. meeting different people, understanding different cultures, learning to be with people who are not like you. I think that's exciting. I think that's wonderful. And that and that we've been able to foster that kind of openness and acceptance and drive that students want to come here. Gilbert Carak used to say that in the bathrooms all over the world. If you've got a special needs student, come come to Stevenson High School in Lincolnshshire. That's when she was director of student services. I say it's all over the world says if you want your child to have a worldclass education, you figure out how to get to Lincolnshire, Illinois and send your kids to the school because we are by far the best.

um to the point of really hard wiring it. So there's actually most scoreboards are wireless. Most of them are wireless. They work off a controller. This one is hardwired um because of the age of it. So our maintenance team ran from the press box all the way to the current scoreboard. A hard wire. And I'm not going to say it and I know Dave's not going to say it, but it it's working. every time we turn it on, we hope that it works. It a little bit more part of that just the scoreboard components are they are becoming they are obsolete and so um we've been putting together with duct tape for the last couple years and so we're definitely long overdue for a replacement. Then like so one last one, right? So if uh the turf was a donation like we kind of did it here obviously was the booster successful in repaying us for that turf?

And I don't care what anybody in the outside world says. We know we are. We know that we're good. We know our kids are good. and that we provide the very best opportunity for them. I mean dance who who listens to somebody talk about dance and social emotional learning and yet here we had three examples just today talking about how they're able to take that kind of information and put it into their classroom and the response that they got from their students. Dance, this is not science. This is not English anatomy. This is dance. That's what we're about. And go see a student play and go watch some of those concerts. You're amazed at the kind of talent that our students have and that they're showcasing. Anyway, I I've always been glad to be a part of this. I'm going to miss you all terribly.
