(KLZA)--Mound City School Superintendent Korey Miles updated the school board last week on a request for bids to remodel bathrooms throughout the school this coming summer.

Plans call for replacing partitions and walls to allow for better cleaning and disinfecting. New vanities, sinks and toilets will be an option as well.

He also reported new carpeting will be put in the Preschool Room this summer.

The Superintendent also noted the current tuition rate of $3,500 per yer per student is well below the current rate of other area schools. Currently it costs the Mound City District $13,223 to educate each student. The topic will be further discussed during the March board meeting.
