BENTON, IL – (Tim Hastings, Benton Gazette. Please click on the link for the full story. Here is an excerpt below.)
The Benton Consolidated High School District 103 Board of Education approved leasing four buses Thursday to replace four older models in its fleet.
“These are 2016 models with approximately 15,000 miles on each,” Superintendent Aaron Mattox said. “Leasing comes with a substantial savings and the buses will be safer than what we currently have.”
In other business, Secretary Lisa Price asked if the school’s science labs were equipped for dual credit courses. “I think there was something about the labs preventing us from offering the classes,” Price said. “We’ve spent quite a bit on athletics recently. I think we should look at spending on the science labs.”
