(KMZA)--The Nemaha Central Board of Education has approved the purchase of a new science curriculum for students in grades K-8.
The action came during this week’s Board meeting.
Staff representatives have been researching a new curriculum for over a year and recommended the Foss curriculum since it has been updated to align with the new science standards.
The total cost of nearly $33,000 includes permanent equipment, consumables, technology access and three professional development days for staff.
The cost will be paid through the textbook fund, where textbook rental fees are deposited.
In other action, the USD 115 Board approved summer school staff and fees.
The summer school fees will remain the same.
The Board accepted the resignations of middle school math teacher Ashley Carlson, elementary school secretary Kim Sudbeck and special education para Mary Koezler.
The Board also approved the purchase of a 6 by 12-foot trailer from Engelken Farm and Feed Supply, of Seneca, for $3,850.
The trailer will replace a 5 by 8 foot trailer, which will be sold by sealed bids.
The trailer is used to transport athletic and band equipment.
