The Tri-County R-7 Board of Education met Thursday, accepting multiple bids and setting the tax rate hearing.
Superintendent David Probasco reported that the board accepted bids for bread from Graves, milk from Hiland Dairy and fuel from both Landes Oil and MFA Oil. Board members also accepted a bid from SHI for the purchase of Chromebooks at a cost of $30,718.80 and a proposal from Kramer Contracting to remodel the gym in the high school at a cost of $108,230.
In addition, the board approved the employee and student handbooks for the 2021-22 school year and approved increases in the day care rates. Lunch prices were discussed, but with the continuation of the Seamless Summer Option, all students will be allowed free meals. It was agreed to seek bids for a $150,000 certificate of deposit that will mature in August. The budget was discussed, with no action taken and board members set the tax rate hearing for 6 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 19.
The next regular meeting will be held at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 11 in the school library.
