Forty-one of the new computers will be placed in the high school business labs, ten in the high school drafting lab, seven in the middle school library and four in the middle school art department.
In other business, the board approved the purchase of new textbooks for next school year for various classes at a cost of just over $83,000.
The board approved fees for next school year. Lunch prices will increase 5 cents. Fees for applied tech and art classes at the middle school will each increase one dollar, while the fee for the drafting course at the high school will decrease five dollars. There will be no other fee changes.
