(KMZA)--The Nemaha Central USD 115 Board of Education approved the bid package for the last part of the $24.2 million bond issue approved by voters in November 2022 when they meet last week.

The Board approved a guaranteed maximum price of $3,372,173 for renovation of the Career and Technical Education building, with the work slated for 2025.

In addition, the board approved a change order for a total cost of $3,369,942 for additional projects within the scope of the bond issue.

The funds for the change order projects, which include high school classroom renovations, are available because of lower than expected costs and bond fund investments.

The board also voted to authorize high school parking lot improvements, if funds allow.

All construction is still scheduled to be done by August of 2025.
