Argos School Board Approves Furniture, Sound System Purchases

The Argos School Board members took action this week to approve proposed purchases of equipment for the corporation.

Superintendent Ned Speicher said some Title I reading furniture was purchased with grant funding.  The board approved a bid from the Lee Company for $30,299.40 for that furniture. 

The board also approved the cost of a new sound system for the main gymnasium from Acorn Sound Technology in the amount of $26,511. 

Speicher said the goal is to get these projects done this summer. 

Additionally, the board approved several donations which included $240 from the Argos Lions Club for plaques for student awards.  Gen-Tech Farm Seed donated spray and fertilizer for all of the athletic fields, and the Argos Lions Club and the Argos Public Library donated 100 Constitution books for the seniors.
