(KNZA)--The Board of Education for the South Brown County Schools of USD 430 have organized for the new school year.

That came during their regular meeting July 8.

Jacob Bruning was elected as board president for the 2019-20 school year.

Jason Selland was elected vice-president.

It was the consensus of the Board last month to keep the election of officers in July.

With the passage of Senate bill 130 during this year’s Kansas legislative session, the Board could have waited until January to elect a president and vice president when the newly elected board members begin.

In other business,  Superintendent Jason Cline informed the Board that the air unit for the Horton High School music room has stopped working.

The district was given a quote from Custom Sheet Metal, of Topeka, to repair the unit for $9,454 or replace it for $10,279.

It was the consensus of the Board to have it replaced.
