Guest Speaker: Drew Goering to discuss the Hudl program GIAB is looking at. Coach Jim Frost is spearheading program.
Review what Coach Frost had previously mentioned - there are 9 teams Hudl can cover. Package we are looking at includes (2) cameras and a portable camera which can be used by Lacrosse; Soccer; and Hockey. Hudl and Hudl Assist does all 9 teams and stats for football. Liability for any broken cameras - replacement at no cost. Pricing would start with a pro-rated pricing. There would be a (2) year contract signed if start with pro-rated package. The package itself would include a mobile camera and two mounted $11,400; if we do it right now it would be $5,596 for half season until August. The second year would be $10K then build up to the $11,400. We are currently paying $4,500 for (3) teams of basketball; basketball is paying 1/3 and GIAB is the rest.

Electrical - this district is picking up the cost when needed for setting up Hudle. ? Jim O more about this.
Hudle Information: from Jim Frost - package looking at $8500 annually called AD package - you get unlimited teams to use it. Looking at Boosters picking up costs and then teams using pay portion of costs. Athletes can use it to view their performance and send it to potential colleges for recruitment. Hudle will film Varsity and sub varsity.
Cameras around the school; starting with the football field and if soccer on the back field will be approx additional $3k for another camera. Jefferson; Milan; Airport; Monroe CC. and if we are at those schools we can let them know ahead of time and we can get copies from the schools who have it. If approved need to figure out each team's responsibility and then how much is boosters willing to contribute. Limited warranty and if any damage that is not during an actual event could fall back on school. ? regarding any installation fee and response was school responsibility as GI Tech department is working on it. No discussion can be made this evening as we are without two voting board members so an email will be sent with all information needed to do so. How is the pricing - based on what dates; example like per school year; is it pro-rated? Asking Jim Frost if a rep can come next meeting on December 11th.
Open Discussion - The Lacrosse coach had mentioned they had their fundraiser and are still in need of money. He was advised there is a form that needs to be filled out with request for anything. Also he asked when they are up for next uniforms; Jim O advised that it is every four years.
