The Christian County School Board approved a bid for a provider of apparel for high school athletics and other extra-curriculars for Hopkinsville-Christian County Academy at Thursday’s special called meeting.
District Athletic Director Kerry Stovall says they received several bids but they were recommending the board approve the proposal from BSN Sports, which includes a five-year contract effective July 1. Director of Finance Jessica Darnell highlighted some parts of the bid that made it appealing, including discounts on Nike footwear and apparel and programs designed to help newly branded, consolidated schools.
Stovall says it would also include extra-curriculars such as band, dance and cheer and other items and sports. It also comes with offers of ‘fan gear’ that the school would get a percentage of sales from.
In other action, the board also approved the job descriptions for athletic trainers—Stovall says one of those trainers will also have the chance to teach sports medicine courses at Gateway Academy.
Both items were passed unanimously and were the only items on the agenda for the special-called meeting.
