(KMZA)--A fire sprinkler system will be installed at the original Axtell school building to improve code issues.
On the recommendation of the project architect, the Prairie Hills USD 113 Board of Education Monday evening selected the fire sprinkler option over a new exterior stair to replace the existing fire escape.
The sprinkler system, which will be installed on the three levels of the school, will cost nearly $227,000. Sprinklers will not be added on the auditorium side.
The cost for the exterior stair option was placed at nearly $257,000.
Superintendent Todd Evans said not only will be sprinkler system cost less, but it will provide students with a safer environment.
