Proposal for digital “Wall of Champions” would highlight student achievements; funding proposed from prior bond

A proposal to install a digital recognition display to highlight student accomplishments was presented to the Kelloggsville Board of Education at its March 23 meeting.

Presenter Mr. Roscoe outlined a plan for a 65-inch touchscreen display, tentatively called the “Wall of Champions,” that would allow users to browse awards by year and category and would be accessible through the district website and a mobile app. The district would contract the Touchstone platform at an estimated $3,400 per year; Source One would produce mural and graphics with an estimated cost of $4,300. The touchscreen is described as durable and could be recessed into the wall for protection. Mr. Roscoe said funding for the project would come from remaining funds from a prior bond.

Student Board Representative Cameron Clark told the board he believes the display would be an improvement over current smaller televisions used for recognitions and said he would be interested in volunteering. Several board members welcomed the idea; President Tanis suggested exploring an alternate name for the display. The board did not take a vote on the proposal during this meeting; a design mock-up from Source One was promised for review.
