R-8 Board to consider $45,000 center-hung scoreboard for Kaminsky Gymnasium

A center-hung scoreboard for Kaminsky Gymnasium on the Joplin High School campus is on tap for the Joplin R-8 Board of Education when it meets 6 p.m. Tuesday in the Memorial Administration Building.

The scoreboard, which is being recommended by school officials, would cost $45,928.27, not including installation costs, but that cost is already covered by advertising agreements, according to the proposal. At this point, $85,000 has been collected.

The funding method is the same that was used this year for the scoreboard at Junge Field.
