The Italy School Board of Trustees held a brief meeting Monday evening in the school cafeteria.

Barry Bassett, superintendent, discussed the selling of old computers to the public as early as Friday. Current plans are to sell the old computer systems on a first come, first serve basis. He said the computers are cleaned, with no operating system and no software. He said the district would have more information about the computer systems on the ItalyNeotribune when they decide to move forward.

He also presented a proposal about technology and said he would like community input. He said school board members are considering nominating local residents to a committee to expand the technology program. Bassett said he hoped to form this committee to make a better school and a better community.

Michael Chambers, maintenance director, said the concrete has been poured at the new ag barn and said construction should be completed by the first of October.
