HHS gym to get new scoreboards

(KNZA)--The Hiawatha High School gymnasium will be getting new scoreboards and a new scorer's table.

Hiawatha Booster Club President Jodi Twombly told the school board Monday evening that the current scoreboards were purchased in 1989 and are at the end of their useful life. In addition, the board was told a lot of the parts are obsolete and impossible to find.

Twombly estimated the total cost for the purchase of two digital scoreboards and a scorer's table would be around $30,000.

She said the Booster Club has agreed to pay $15,000 toward the cost of the project and asked the board for assistance in covering the rest.

Following discussion, the board voted to contribute up to $19,900, pending an official bid.

The new scoreboards are to be installed this summer.

The board heard a presentation from High School Career Specialist Kelly Griswold on the JAG-K program, which is currently in its second year.

The national program prepares students to be successful after high school and is offered as an in-school elective class.

She said the program has grown from 45 students last year to 60 students this school year.

In other business, the board approved a calendar for next school year. The first day of school will be August 18 and the last day of school will be May 24.

Following an executive session, the board approved the hiring of Megan Mueller as elementary school counselor for the 2022-23 school year and Cyndi Florence as high school softball head coach.
