(KMZA)--The Prairie Hills USD 113 Board of Education has accepted a bid for a HVAC improvement project at three of the district's schools.
Superintendent Todd Evans said the board at their November 8th meeting accepted the low bid in the amount of $813,360 from Edelman's Lumber, of Sabetha, for the project.
In addition to more efficient HVAC systems, Evans said the project includes filtration and fresh air return improvements at the Sabetha High School, Axtell and Wetmore Schools.
The work is to be done during the summer of 2022, and will be financed with federal COVID relief funds.
In other business, Evans said the board accepted two bids to resolve a drainage issue on the north side of the Axtell School. The first bid for $13,755 is to remove concrete and dirt, and the other bid for $15,870 is to accomplish the related work of ensuring water drainage away from the building.
Evans said the Board also reviewed district teacher survey results regarding the use of technology—including whether teachers would prefer equipping students with an Ipad or laptop.
He said the district has applied for a grant through E-rate funds to assist with the cost of new student devices.
The issue will be revisted at the board's December meeting.
