(KNZA)--The South Brown County USD 430 Board of Education, when they meet last week, approved using left over bonds funds for additional projects.
Superintendent Jason Cline said there will be roughly $540,000 left in bond funds when the main projects are complete. He recommended a few projects the funds could be used for.
Following a lengthy discussion, the Board voted to pay for a two-inch asphalt overlay at the high school staff parking lot and elementary entrance drive at an estimated cost up to $54,000, and to pursue the purchase of window blinds for all buildings at an estimated cost of $45,000.
In other business, Cline updated the board on the current enrollment numbers in each building. The current headcount is 551 students, which is up about 50 students from this time last year. Cline said the after school program has started and there are currently 58 students signed up. The program runs Monday-Thursday until 5 pm. Cline also told the board that Kansas Commissioner of Education Dr. Randy Watson will be coming to Horton High School on October 3rd to visit with students.
