(KNZA)--The Sabetha Middle School will be getting a new HVAC system.

Superintendent Todd Evans says the USD 113 Board of Education Monday evening accepted the low bid from Piping Contractors of Kansas for the project in the amount of $287,450. It was among two bids received.

Evans says the Board held the first reading on proposed new graduation requirements beginning with the class of 2018. He said the main change is the removal of the technology requirements. Evans says technology courses will still be offered, but the change will provide flexibility for students to select courses based on their individual plans of study. A total of 25 credits will continue be required to graduate.

The Board will consider final approval of the proposed new graduation requirements at their January meeting.

Sabetha High School Counselor Briana Evans had students demonstrate the Career Cruising program to the Board. The program is used by students to create their individual plans of study.

Sabetha High School Vocational Instructor Chris Bauerle provide the board with an update on the FFA Greenhouse project.

Bauerle said they’d like to have the concrete poured by the end of December, weather allowing. He said fundraising is going well and they’ve received several generous donations of money, labor and material.

Bauerle asked the Board if they’d consider paying $10,000 for fencing to go around the greenhouse. No action was taken on the request.
