The board approved new computers, including 70 laptops for staff, 230 new chromebooks and other equipment at a cost of over $197,000 with funding coming from federal dollars, according to Flynn.
Also in board news, Superintendent Flynn said a board committee had reviewed 16 applications for the Elementary Principal position and had narrowed the list to six finalists who will be interviewed.
