(KNZA)--The house remodeled by the Horton High School home improvement class students is ready to go on the market.

The USD 430 Board of Education this week approved to sell the house located at 229 West 12th “ as is” for $64,900.

The Board took the action after being told that a small leak had developed in the basement of the house.

The house will be listed with Maximum Realty.

Superintendent Steve Davies informed the Board that the city has donated another house, at 233 West 8th Street, for the school's next home improvement project.  He said the house is in very bad shape and the district will be reviewing the property.

In other action,  the Board was told the Horton High School yearbook class was unable to raise enough funds through advertising and yearbook sales this year to make a $2,500 payment to the yearbook publisher.

Of the 80 yearbooks ordered to get a discount in the price, only 35 were sold.

The Board voted to cover the payment and will discuss later how to proceed with a yearbook next year.

The Board was given information on three companies that bid all or portions of the district’s insurance needs for the 2017-18 school year.

The Board approved a bid from SBS Insurance for the district’s entire insurance package in the amount of $93,754.

Following an executive session, the board approved the hiring of Amelia Grissom as Horton High School English teacher and Leah Ritchhart as Horton Elementary teacher for next school year.

The board also approved extending the contracts of  Horton Elementary Principal Judy Dickman and Everest Middle School Jackie Wenger for the 2017-18 school year.
