I looked up the word marquee in the dictionary to find out the definition. I was familiar with it being used as a canopy outside a theater with advertising for the show and to shelter those arriving and waiting for the theater to open from the rain or the sun.

I was unfamiliar with the usage for an electronic sign outside a school. Web Link

The new electronic sign is way too low to the ground. Passing cars block half of it. Also, there is a metal sign next to it that also obstructs your view. No thought or planning was involved in its design and placement.

Also, the text is very small and hard to read.

Very disappointing after 2 years of waiting to replace the old one.
