(KNZA)--South Brown County USD 430 will seek a grant for security improvements at the district's schools.

Superintendent Jason Cline informed the Board of Education at their April 14 meeting that he is in the process of applying for a $140,000 grant to help cover the cost of new entrance doors and a new buzz-in system for each building.

The grant requires a 25 percent match. If awarded, the district would be responsible for $35,000.

Cline also informed the Board the district has been awarded a $15,000 grant to help offset the cost of the purchase of their new bus.

In addition, he updated the board on the continuous learning plan implemented last month following Governor Kelly's order closing K-12 schools for the remainder of the school year to mitigate the spread of the new coronavirus.

Cline said the on-line learning plan is going well. He said staff has been doing a good job of being flexible and working with students.

In other action, the Board accepted, with regrets, the retirement resignation of longtime Food Service Director Bonnie Hochstetler.

Hochstetler is retiring at the end of the current school year after 35 years with the district.
