The Board voted to table discussion on amending the calendar until the July Board meeting.

The Board dis approved the purchase of 275 new Chromebooks, with a three-year damage repair warranty, Chrome Management Console and GoGuardian for grades 2 – 12 at a cost of $122,521.

An interlocal agreement with the Nemaha Natural Resources District for the purpose of providing cost-share assistance through the Urban Special Project Cost-share Program was approved with the school district spending up to $3,300 in matching funds toward the program. The funds will be used to plant trees and natural grasses.
