Helm Named School Board President

The USD 480 school board met Monday night for their reorganization meeting.  The board approved Steve Helm at president and Travis Combs at vice president.

The board approved the re-finance portion of bonds for the new schools.  This gave the district and tax payers $698,200 savings in interest.  The board made a similar move last year which saved 1.2 million.

The board approved a new waterline for the old West Middle School building which will become part of the LHS campus.  That cost is $36,618.
