Greenville Schools Levy
Questions &
Answers, Set 3: Harmon Field
Why was Harmon Field
renamed?
Greenville City Schools was approached over a year ago by Good
Samaritan Hospital and Wayne Health Care to sponsor Greenville City
Schools. Good Samaritan and Wayne Health Care will provide
compensation to the district in the amount of $230,000 from 2012-2016
for advertising in athletic areas. Harmon Field was renamed, “Good
Samaritan Stadium at Harmon Field” for the length of the agreement.
The term of the contract is for 5 years with an option to renew for an
additional 5 years for a total of $225,000. If Greenville City School
opts for the full ten year agreement it would generate $455,000 that
could be used to upgrade athletic facilities within Greenville City
Schools.
Another great advantage of this agreement is that athletic training
will be provided to all of Greenville City School athletes at a cost of
1.00 per year by a Wayne Health Care’s certified athletic trainer. This
is a substantial savings for the district as Greenville City Schools
will not have to employ their own athletic trainer. Many other
districts have signed similar agreements, Northmont City Schools and
Vandalia Butler are among a few of them.
By finding alternate revenue sources to help with upgrading athletic
facilities we can save tax payer dollars.
