CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS
Proposal
May 26, 2009
Proposal: To revise, or incorporate, a new signage code for the City of Winter Springs to
include digital signage.
Indian Trails Middle School and Keeth Elementary want to upgrade the existing signs
outside of the schools with an LED sign.
The purpose for doing so is to better communicate with the community.
The existing signs would remain the same, except where the exchangeable lettering is.
(see photos) That part of the sign would be removed and replaced with an LED sign.
Our existing signage is old and outdated and not very visible to the City of Winter
Springs residents. An LED upgrade would improve visibility tremendously.
In order to communicate more effectively, and in a timely manner, the digital signs -
which can be updated within minutes -would have a profound impact on school
communications. The schools would be able to change the sign as easily as sending an
email.
The size of the signs will not change.
Presently keeping the signs current is time consuming. Often school personnel aze not
available to update the sign(s) and information is not up-to-date. During very busy times
the schools are not able to list all the events occurring in the school.
For example, Indian Trails PTSA provided an evening presentation on safety -including
how to protect your credit, yourself, your property, etc. Unfortunately we were not able to
advertise this presentation due to other school events. Had we had this sign, we could
have publicized this terrific program and provided the opportunity for residents to attend
this free presentation.
It is our hope and wish that by having these signs, we can better communicate -not only
to parents, but the Winter Springs community at large. We very much want to involve
City of Winter Springs residents in our schools.
After all, what is more important than our children's education?
Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.
