The Montezuma weight room improvement project will soon be completed.

The Montezuma Board of Education approved a total bid of $57,059.81 to complete the project.

The board, which met on Wednesday, March 19, accepted the following bids:

Ogan Enterprises, $46,832.78; A-One Boring, $6,375; and Winegarden Hardware, $3,852.03 for a total of $57,059.81 to finish the work.

The work includes adding footings to the new addition, pouring a sidewalk, installing new windows and doors, framing the restroom, finishing inside of the building and adding siding to the outside of the building.

The State Fire Marshals office halted the project in July 2012, after it was discovered that the proper paperwork had not been filed. It was also discovered that two restrooms were to be included in the new addition.

Since that time, the district has received a waiver and is only required to install one handicap restroom in the new addition.

Staff

In business related to staff, the board: Approved the resignations of secondary science teachers David Brondyke and Carrie Weber.
