(KLZA)-- The Auburn Board of Education and administrators continue to look for ways to save money due to a reduction in state aid for the next school year.
During the May Board meeting earlier this week, Board members approved a list of purchase orders for the 17-18 school year with significant cutbacks. The approved costs come too nearly $76-thousand dollars which is a nearly 40-percent reduction from last year.
Superintendent Kevin Reiman said computers and reading curriculum materials were among the requisition costs deferred this time around.
The Board also received a report from Lisa Andrews the Parent Teacher Organization. Reiman said this is a very active organization that is helping reduce some of the costs for cuts in spending this summer. The Board thanked the group for all they do for the Auburn School District.
An extension of a copier lease for the Auburn School District was approved with Capital Business Systems. Reiman said the new 5-year contract will reduce monthly costs by $7-thousand.
