Board approves purchase of new band uniforms

(KLZA)--Auburn, Nebraska High School band students will be getting new uniforms.

The Auburn Public Schools Board of Education this week approved the purchase at cost of nearly $60,000.

Superintendent Kevin Reiman said over the past 10 – 15 years, $22,000 has been raised to help offset the cost of the new uniforms.

The current band uniforms were purchased in the early 90's.

In other business, Reiman informed the Board that a hard freeze during the Christmas break appears to have led to a gymnasium roof issue.

He said when it thawed, a leak in the school gymnasium was discovered. That is the oldest roof in the school district.

Reiman estimates the cost for a new roof at around $300-thousand, which he says is not in the current budget.

Hopes are that a temporary fix at a cost of $1,500 - $2000 will allow the school district to get another two or three years use out of the roof before a complete new roof is needed.

In other action, the Board approved the 2018-19 school year calendar. The first day of school for students will be August 20th. The calendar calls for a full two-week holiday break which had been requested by some parents.
