(KNZA)--The Board of Education for the Atchison County Community Schools of USD 377 is moving forward with a project to upgrade the HVAC system at the Junior-Senior High School.
After reviewing cost estimates, the board voted last week to have DCS Services get bids for the project at a cost of up to $200,000.
The design of the Junior-Senior High School HVAC system cuts off air to the classrooms as the rooms cool and heaters begin to run.
Officials say the control system is out of date and is set up so that only one company can come work on it. The upgrade will allow the school district to have more competitive pricing when needing to make repairs to the system as well as provide more fresh air consistently to the classrooms.
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment awarded $150,000 in grant funds to improve the air quality in the building and those funds will go toward the project.
