(KNZA)--The Hiawatha School Board, during a special meeting Wednesday morning, further discussed a funding request for the construction of an indoor practice facility at Noble Park.

The Hiawatha Baseball and Softball Club has asked USD 415 for $200,000 to be used towards the construction of the estimated $300,000 facility.

Superintendent Lonnie Moser checked into the legalities and logistics of providing funding to the Club. Moser explained the only way for the district to provide funding is through a lease agreement with the Club. The lease would pay for use of the building by the district.

After some discussion, the Board asked Moser to meet with a member of the Club to work on a sample lease for the Board to review at a future meeting.

In other business, the Board reviewed the bid specifications for selling the Hawthorne house. The Board voted to approve for publication the notice of the sealed bid process for the house.

Bids will be due to the board office on June 14. They will be opened that afternoon at 2:00 and reviewed by the board at their regular meeting that evening.

The succcesful bidder will have to move the house from its current location by September 1, 2022.

An open house is planned next Thursday,May 27, from 10 am to 6 pm for prospective buyers to view the property.

The Board also approved the hiring of Jeanie Teal-Wege as the new Hiawatha High School agriculture teacher.
