Savings in Action - Daktronics
When adding an expensive piece of technology, such as an electronic scoreboard, it can be intimidating to figure out how to fund it and execute the plan. With Daktronics, Superior High School was able to make their plans a reality and create more opportunities for sponsorships and learning experiences for students!
PROBLEM:
The team at Superior High School was seeking a partner to replace aging scoreboards in their gymnasium. They also sought assistance in creating and executing a sponsorship program.
SOLUTION:
Selecting Daktronics as their partner provided the School District of Superior with state-of-the-art scoreboards and a video display that will enhance the atmosphere for academic and athletic uses. When a school partners with Daktronics, they have access to Daktronics Sports Marketing services at no cost to their District which will help the school generate revenue through community sponsorships. Daktronics held an on-site meeting with the school to help create, sell, and implement a sponsorship program. In addition, Daktronics provided a cloud-based curriculum that allows for hands-on learning opportunities for the students and gave them experience to run the same Daktronics equipment as over 80% of the college and professional facilities around the country!
RESULTS:
By utilizing the CESA Purchasing Program contract with Daktronics, Superior High School was able to select Daktronics and implement a sponsorship program to not only fully fund the scoreboards and video display, but also generate an additional $30,000+ per year via local sponsorships!

"We are extremely grateful to work with CESA Purchasing and Daktronics on this crucial project for our Spartan community. Our vision for taking our game day experience to the next level came true with our partnership. The process was smooth, and CESA & Daktronics were with us every step of the way. The CESA Purchasing co-op is invaluable, without their discounted pricing we couldn't get everything we wanted at the price we could afford. The School District of Superior highly recommends working with Daktronics and CESA Purchasing." - David Coy, Communications/PR Specialist; School District of Superior
“Daktronics’s partnership with CESA has streamlined the purchasing process for many school districts in Wisconsin. As Superior High School sought after vendors, they found confidence not only in the products we offer, but our Daktronics Sports Marketing group’s sponsorship assistance which covered costs, and the Event Production Curriculum opportunities they will now be able to offer their students. We believe that the real reason for a video display in high school facilities is to positively impact students’ lives, and if we can help you do that, we know students will be engaged and take pride in creating an enhanced atmosphere during your events – both academically and athletically. As a leader in the scoreboard and video display industry, we are proud to be supported by our CESA Purchasing Partner.” Christopher Kretsch, Sales Consultant; Daktronics
‘’Superior’s scoreboard project is a great example of how CESA Purchasing can provide support to Wisconsin School Districts via our contracts to receive not only industry best pricing, but also to ensure they are selecting and partnering with the highest quality, industry-leading partners! We are proud to be partnered with the Daktronics team, they provide comprehensive solutions for our Wisconsin schools, while also supporting funding of projects in creative ways by leveraging community sponsorship and support. Superior is a shining example of the beautiful & functional work they do!’’ - Meghan Cropp, Partnerships Manager; CESA Purchasing
