Brentwood Academy is seeking to upgrade its scoreboard to align with those of Brentwood High School and Ravenwood High School, prompting a proposed change to the city’s sign ordinance. This initiative was discussed during a recent Planning Commission meeting, where officials highlighted the differences in regulations between city and county schools.
Currently, Brentwood Academy, as a city school, must adhere to stricter sign regulations compared to Brentwood and Ravenwood, which are county schools. To address this disparity, city officials conducted research, including visits to all three schools to measure and photograph existing scoreboards. The revised ordinance aims to standardize scoreboard sizes across the schools, ensuring Brentwood Academy's new scoreboard matches the dimensions of its counterparts.
The proposed ordinance change received initial approval from the Board of Commissioners on May 12 and will be presented again for public discussion on June 9, with a final reading scheduled for June 23. This move is seen as a step towards creating uniformity in school signage, enhancing the visual landscape of Brentwood's educational institutions.
