Industry: K-12
Customer Profile: Minisink Valley Central School District is one of the largest school districts in the Southern Tier of New York State, covering a total of 115 square miles. The district consists of five school buildings with approximately 3,500 students currently enrolled. Minisink’s mission statement “encourages all students to reach their full potential by providing equal opportunity for academic, social, physical, and moral education in a safe, caring, and challenging environment.”
Customer Challenge: The school district hosts its high school graduation ceremony outside on the athletic field every year. However, in recent years, there had been complaints about sound quality because of the outdated sound system. The district was interested in replacing its existing systems, but only had a short amount of time to do so before the 2023 school year began.
Stark Solution: Our Stark Tech team collaborated with the district’s school buildings and grounds team to customize a brand-new sound system that worked for its unique needs. From pricing and design to installation and commissioning, our team managed to complete the entire project within the district’s two-month time frame.
“The turnaround time was well ahead of schedule. Kevin and Greg’s teams worked seamlessly together.” – Nick Tranchina – Director of Facilities III
Project Result: The updated outdoor sound system was completely up and functional in time for graduation. The district received praise for the sound quality improvement and continues to utilize the systems for football games and all other outdoor events on the field.
