Tupelo Parks & Rec moves to paperless registration
TUPELO, Miss. (AP) – The Tupelo Parks & Recreation department has switched to a computer-based system that not only eliminates paper waste, but also allows residents to register online from home.
The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal reports the department eased into the new digital system a few months ago with youth basketball registration. The system is currently being tested with baseball and softball registration, which goes through the end of the month.
Parks & Rec director Alex Farned says to further reduce paper waste, the department won’t be sending out flyers through the school or sending letters. Instead, notifications of the spring registration have been on social media, the website and emails.
The system also gives coaches information, like time and place information for games.
