(KLZA)-- The Auburn Board of Education approved the purchase of two vehicles for the school district when they met Monday.
Superintendent Kevin Reiman says the District is still playing catch-up due to recent losses in State Aid. The Board approved the purchase of a new passenger van and a used Sport Utility Vehicle.
Both vehicles were purchased in Auburn from Meyer Earp. The van came at a cost of $28,700 and the used SUV carried a price tag of $22,900.
Two vans owned by the school have been declared excess equipment. Reiman said the vans are in bad shape and will be scrapped.
A couple of calendar changes have been approved. Students will not attend class on March 11 allowing Auburn to host a District Speech contest. Teachers will be working that day.
Due to missing two days of school for state softball and the March 11th day, with the potential of missing snow days, a scheduled day of no school on April 22nd will now be a regular school day.
The 2017-18 audit report was accepted by the School Board members. Reiman said it was a clean audit.
