Kewanee School District Superintendent, Mrs. Rebecca Baney, joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to recap the October 21st Kewanee School Board Meeting. Mrs. Baney talked about the estimates for Central School and Kewanee High School roofs damaged in the July storms. The board approved a new digital scoreboard for Brockman Gym and a new outside fitness court that will be by the soccer fields. They hope to have the new scoreboard installed and functional by Christmas break so staff has time to learn how to control the board. Then staff will teach students how to control the new scoreboard and figure out how to integrate the technology into the existing curriculum. The board approved issuing bonds to pay for the new HVAC system for the Central Cafeteria/Kitchen because the bids came in significantly higher than anticipated. Stay tuned for updates on a possible art contest for the wall of the new fitness court.
