(KMZA)--The Nemaha Central USD 115 Board of Education has agreed to help the High School FFA chapter with travel expenses to the national FFA convention.
FFA officers, Derek Wurtz, Dan Haverkamp and Adelaide Haverkamp, reported to the board Monday evening that they will be attending the national convention in Indianapolis at the end of the month.
They have been raising money for the event as this is the first time their FFA chapter will be attending the national convention.
The students asked the board for assistance in funding their trip. The board voted to contribute $1,500 to the FFA chapter to help with expenses.
In other business, the board voted to proceed with negotiations with AHRS Construction, of Bern, to serve as construction manager at risk for potential facility improvements should a bond issue be approved by USD 115 voters during the November 8 general election.
They were among three firms interviewed by the board during a special meeting on October 8.
Superintendent Tavis Desormiers said pre-selection of a construction manager at risk does not obligate the district to any costs or commitments until a successful bond election.
