The Hermiston School District says Sports Media, a vendor from Idaho Falls, Idaho is again contacting local businesses to sell sports poster ads.
Hermiston businesses are receiving an invoice in the mail claiming to go toward the 2017 fall sports poster from Hermiston High School. The Hermiston School District is warning the business community that this vendor is not affiliated with the high school or district, and proceeds from the posters do not benefit district students.
Any advertising or sponsorship for Hermiston High School programs will come directly from Larry Usher, the district’s director of athletics and activities, or Lindy Thompson, the athletics secretary. District officials said it is apparent that the vendor knows that this is the time when Hermiston High School contacts the business community for sponsorship for the 2017-18 school year.
A formal complaint against Sports Media has been filed with the Oregon Department of Justice Fraud Department. For more information, call Larry Usher at 541-667-6117.
