The West Central School Corporation could save over $50,000 by refinancing its wind turbine bonds. The school board recently held a work session with a bond consultant from Baker Tilly, according to Superintendent Dan Zylstra.
“It’s just a question of trying to take advantage of those low interest rates,” Zylstra explains. “That would generate some savings, and then we could potentially pull those savings out and have those available to use for turbine maintenance and other costs.”
Meanwhile, Zylstra says West Central’s maintenance staff has been busy with some summer projects. “We’ve almost completed the middle school/high school hallway painting project. We completed an LED light project, which is going to generate substantial savings, and then we are also finishing up a door replacement project that we had with some money from a school safety grant,” Zylstra says.
Zylstra says the school board also officially agreed to keep lunch prices the same for the 2020-2021 school year.
