(KNZA)--The Prairie Hills USD 113 Board of Education has approved a new position to be housed at the Sabetha Elementary School.
Superintendent Todd Evans says the Board gave their approval this week to the hiring of a student and family liaison.
Evans said the position was created to provide social work services, especially for young students.
In other business, Evans says the Board approved a list of $52,318 in reductions for the Axtell school as part of a pro-active effort to continue to ensure the viability of the USD 113 campuses.
Evans says the Board also approved moving forward with getting bids for two capital improvement projects. The first is the replacement of the leaking roof over the east wing of the Sabetha Elementary School and the second is for the replacement of the non-functioning boiler at Sabetha Middle School.
Evans said Jay Herman has been helping the district with roofs and Scott McKinley with PKMR Engineers, of Topeka, is help with the bid specifications for the boiler.
In addition, the Board also accepted a total gift of $6,000 the Lyle Edelman Family. That includes $3,500 for the Sabetha High School FFA and $2,500 for the Sabetha High School band.
