School Board Accepts 13329 Insurance Bid
The Rock Valley Community School Board accepted a 13329 bid from State Farm Fire and Casualty for district buildings contents vehicles and general liability for three years after reviewing three bids. Superintendent Nick Hurst outlined fencing costs around a new softball field and bids sought from suppliers. A 1236 fall football deficit was attributed to lower gate receipts due to missing key conference games. Contracts with families using non public school bus service are expected in December. Curriculum updates were presented by Luana Jacobs and Steve Andresen.
