School Board approves Eastlake video scoreboard

The School Board voted 4-1 (Pendergrass) to approve the Eastlake Football Booster and Evergreen Ford donation for a $160,000 video scoreboard.  Pendergrass was not for it and recommended to clear up confusion that the district was not buying the scoreboard that the Boosters be advertised as major contributors.  Director Siri Bliesner seconded Director Doug Egglington's motion to approve the scoreboard saying that it provided a media educational  opportunity for students.  The majority of the Board voiced concern that the community spent 6 years on the donation drive while the Board was in the dark on it.   They recommended a policy change on community projects of this magnitude to be kept better informed.
