(KNZA)--Two projects at Sabetha High School advance following action taken by the Prairie Hills USD 113 Board of Education this week.
Superintendent Todd Evans says Sabetha Booster Club representatives Scott Burger and John Pierson met with the Board to discuss replacement of the press box at the high school football stadium, which is in bad shape.
Evans says the Board authorized the Booster Club to raise funds for the replacement of the press box and to pursue getting plans and a price quote.
He says Pierson suggested the press box be built with Booster Club money, donations and district capital outlay funds.
In other action, Evans says the Board accepted two donations for the Sabetha High School FFA greenhouse project---$10,000 from Farm Credit Services of America and $1,000 from Dolores Althouse. He said the Board also accepted the low bid from Hummert International for materials for the project in the amount of nearly $41,000.
In addition, Evans says the Board approved the final resolution authorizing the refinancing of bonds issued in 2009 by the former USD 441. He says the action will result in a savings to the taxpayers of the former USD 441 of more than 11 percent of the principal or a net present value savings of more than $655,000. Evans says the action will allow the district to pay off the bonds three years early.
