(KLZA)--The Humboldt – Table Rock – Steinauer  School Board has unanimously approved the purchase of new Bytespeed laptop computers for the high school. 

131 laptops will be purchased at a cost of $67,465 which amounts to $515 each.  

The Board also approved a committee recommendation to present a $25 gift card for 86 staff members at a total cost of $2,150.

The gift card is a thank you from the District for two-and-a-half years with no workers compensation claims in the HTRS District.  The lack of claims has led to a large savings in Worker's Compensation costs due to employee safety. 

Board members also approved a 2019-20 school year agreement with the Teachers Association.  The base pay for a new teacher was increased $2-thousand to $36,350. The structure for extra curricular  pay was amended to be a percentage of the persons wages which will also be impacted by the amount of experience in the position.
