(KNZA)--The Nemaha Central Board of Education discussed a land transfer proposal from Prairie Hills USD 113 when they meet Monday evening.

USD 113 sent a letter to USD 115 last month proposing to trade Bern area land west of O Road for land that is in proximity to the Axtell school.

On the recommendation of Superintendent Travis Desormiers, the board voted to utilize contingency funds to hire legal counsel and contract with a lobbyist to provide guidance through the land transfer process.

USD 115 plans to work with the Vermillion and Jackson Heights School Districts in the process. Both of those districts have also received land transfer proposals from USD 113.

In other business, the second bid package was approved for the school improvements bond project with a guaranteed maximum price of $925,476. Its for structural steel and erection.

The board is expected to approve the final bid package at their August meeting.

The first phase of the bond project will include the construction of classroom additions at the grade school and high school.
