(KLZA)-- The Auburn Board of Education this week has accepted the e-Rate bid for work at the Calvert Elementary School and the Middle School / High School.
Superintendent Kevin Reiman says the bids must now be submitted the federal government prior to final approval and any work being done. If approved the E-Rate funding would cover 70-percent of the cots to upgrade the school districts internet infrastructure.
The Board also approved the acceptance of grant monies to cover costs to repair the roof at the District owned movie Theater. The City of Auburn’s Community Redevelopment Association has agreed to proving $12,000 in grant funds to the school district to fix hail damage to the roof of the theater.
Earlier this year the Auburn School District was awarded $60,000 through an EPA grant to be used toward the purchase of three new school buses. Superintendent Reiman says the District will still have to come up with a significant amount of money to purchase the new buses.
The Board is seeking bids for a $205,000 loan to cover the school districts portion of the buses.
In other action the Board accepted the resignation of teacher Shannon Cole who has accepted a job with the Crete School District and approved hiring Jordan Scow as a Speech Pathologist.
