Upgrades to the air conditioning system in the Johnson-Brock School District are on hold following Monday’s Board of Education meeting.
Superintendent Jeff Koehler says the board has been discussing replacing the window units in the 1957 building for the past couple years, but the board decided against proceeding with the upgrades this year after getting cost estimates from Trane. Koehler says it’s something that needs to be addressed. (play audio :27)
The cost estimate from Trane was $110,000 to upgrade the system in the front office, principal’s office and guidance office, and $356,000 to replace window units in the 1957 building. (play audio :42)
Another project that is progressing is the installation of artificial turf on the football field. Koehler says workers are finishing the final layer of rock and he says the carpet should be installed late this month or early next month, in time for football camp and the first day of practice on August 5th.
In other business, the Johnson-Brock School Board approved the final reading on four district policies. Those policies cover dating violence, assessments, concussions, and attendance. Koehler says the attendance policy was changed to reflect change in state law. (play audio :16)
Johnson-Brock students won’t have to pay more for meals in the next school year. Koehler says the board voted to leave breakfast and lunch prices the same as last year. And the board approved the contract with band instructor Dana Overfield for the summer music program.
Koehler says the Johnson-Brock School District is looking to purchase a handicap-accessible vehicle. (play audio :16)
Koehler says the meeting began with a presentation from FBLA students who will be going to the national competition this summer. Eight Johnson-Brock students will leave for the national competition in San Antonio, Texas, on June 28th.
