What you need to know
Trustees approved two contracts to replace existing lighting at stadiums in the district with LED lighting. District documents state these replacements are intended to reduce energy consumption and require less maintenance, as well as improve visibility for spectators and athletes on the field. The replacements will be funded by 2018 and 2024 bond funds, district documents state.
The details
The approved contracts will allow the district to use $519,960 in 2018 bond funds to replace lights at the district's two competition stadiums—the Kelly Reeves Athletics Complex and Dragon Stadium—and $811,020 in 2024 bond funds to replace lights at Cedar Ridge, McNeil, Stony Point and Westwood high schools' football stadiums.
Remember this?
Administrators shared in December that projects funded by the 2024 bond have been structured to follow a five-year plan, with the first year focusing on technology and equipment purchases, as well as design for larger projects.
