The North Union Board of Education approved a contract that will install a brand new, sponsor- funded scoreboard at the stadium.

The board voted unanimously to approve two scoreboard contracts at its meeting on Monday – a $267,759 contract with Daktronics to provide the scoreboard and a $72,728 contract with Megalift to install the scoreboard – for a total of $340,487.
