(KLZA)--The Falls City Board of Education approved a project to resurface the track at Jug Brown Stadium when they met Monday evening.

The cost of the project will be $168,851.

Board members also approved te substitute teacher daily pay rate for the 2025-26 school year at $175 per day, which is unchanged from the previous year.

Superintendent Tim Heckenlively reported the Sixpence Board of Trustees has approved the Falls City School Districts continuation grant request for the next fiscal year in an amount of $425,856. The amount is a temporary reduction of $129,051 due to a delay in the Child Care and development Fund payment, administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. If additional funding is received, Sixpence will issue an amended award to District 56.

Board members also heard an update from the Transportation Department. It was noted that expected new federal safety transportation regulations could mean school districts can no longer utilize 11-passenger vans. District 56 uses vans of that size to get students to and from school and for transportation to activities.

It is expected the student travel in the future will be shirting toward the use of small buses or minivans instead of large vans.

Transportation Director Tyler Bek reported the eight Falls City School rural bus routes covered 91,318 miles during the last school year.
