(KLZA)-- The Falls City Board of Education has approved a bleacher replacement project at Falls City High School. 

The bleachers at McIntyre-Henderson Field House will be replaced this spring. The current bleachers were installed when the gymnasium was built. The first year the gymnasium was open was the 1979-80 school year.

During Monday’s School Board meeting Carroll Silva with Heartland Seating out of Shawnee, Kansas presented information on new bleachers. This is the same company that installed the bleachers at Falls City Middle School.

Superintendent Tim Heckenlively suggested the Board approved going forward with the bleacher project, but wait to award the bid, noting he is expecting to receive a bid from another company yet.

Hopes are to have the new bleachers installed by late May or early June.
