The board also approved the three insurance plans recommended by the insurance committee for the 2018-19 employee insurance plan options.
The board discussed some upcoming summer facility upgrades. A buzzer entry system for all buildings was discussed and agreed upon that this was a good use of Fund 4 monies. Also discussed was the high school bathroom remodel - as discussed in our facility committee meetings, the bathrooms will be remodeled during the summers using Fund 4 monies.
