Cleanup efforts continue after recent flood damage at the South Coffeyville Elementary School. After their meeting last night, school board members surveyed progress on repairing classrooms and offices that were damaged during recent rains. The bill from the restoration company that provided fans and dehumidifiers totaled $36,000, which is expected to be covered by insurance. Superintendent Daryl Pruter says all is on track to be finished by the start of school.
In other business, the board approved a $0.50 raise for non-certified staff after previously adopting new salaries for certified staff. A labor sale fundraiser was also approved for FFA, and Ag Teacher Jeff McGlathery says this model of fundraiser has been popular in other districts and will help pay for a new livestock trailer.
The auction will be used in addition to FFA's Blue and Gold Sausage sales. More details on the auction will be announced after the start of school.
