Scoreboard ads mean money for Harrison, Bosse other EVSC schools

EVSC Foundation presented ten checks totaling $116,282 to each of the EVSC’s five high school principals and athletic directors in the corporation during tonight’s School Board meeting, from sponsorship proceeds of the L.E.D. scoreboards at each of the five multipurpose complexes including Romain Stadium home of the Harrison Warriors.

The funding is used as building leaders deem appropriate, for a variety of projects and needs at each school. Some of the things that have been funded through these monies include: classroom strategies for interactive learning, response to intervention services, student memberships in a variety of organizations, senior honor roll luncheon, student travel to academic competitions, and a class set of Advanced Placement textbooks.
