In other old business Monday night, the Pawnee City School Board approved a motion to use the Special Building Fund to pay for a sidewalk and fence project at the fitness building. The board also approved an insurance policy with EMC.
In the new business portion of the meeting, the board approved a contract with Hart Floors to sand and refinish the gym floor this summer.
The board approved a contract with Principal Don Jacobs for the next school year. The contract includes a two-and-a-half percent salary increase and a $50 per month cell phone stipend.
The board also approved a schedule change to make March 20th a “no school” day, so Pawnee City can host the MUDECAS Music Contest.
Grizzle says the board also got a presentation from sixth graders who will be competing this weekend in a State Lego Robotics Challenge. (play audio :29)
