(KLZA)--The Humboldt -Table Rock–Steinauer School Board has amended the plan for the parking lot across the street west of the school to include a drainage pond.

The parking lot slopes and water runs out onto the street to the west.  Plans are to put in a small pond to catch the water. However, with the addition of the FFA greenhouse also in the parking lot, the schedule need to be tweaked.

The pond will actually wrap-around the greenhouse so it was determined the pond should be put in now, prior to the FFA students doing landscaping work around the greenhouse.

The greenhouse is substantially finished. The School District received a grant for the building.

During the Superintendent report,Sherry Edmundson updated the Board members on a comparison she did on the costs of various extra curricular activities.  There was some question about the cost of the musical put on by students during the recently completed school year.  

Edumundson compared the cost per student for the musical to wrestling, basketball and speech. While the cost was a bit higher for the musical, Edumndson told the Board members you don't expect activities to be money makers. There was no board action or direction.

In other business the Board approved allowing school district patrons to recover materials such as doors, windows, trim, fixtures from a house at 929 Long Branch Street. The school purchased the property, adjacent to Power Field for $1,800.  

The next agenda item was approval of a resolution to have the Humboldt Volunteer Fire Department burn down the structure at 929 Long Branch once materials from the house have been removed.
