Several changes were approved at the Osawatomie USD 367 Board of Education meeting last week. 

Students attending Osawatomie Middle School no longer will have modified block scheduling, as they have had for the past five years. Instead, they will have each class every day. The abolishment of modified block scheduling will allow students more flexibility with elective classes, officials said.

The board also approved a lease-purchase agreement with First Option Bank to obtain nine school buses. The board hopes to have the vehicles delivered by July 1. 

An additional 360 Acer laptops will be purchased, most of them for Osawatomie High School. Some of the district’s current Gateway laptops will be kept at the high school, while others will be distributed at the elementary and middle schools.

A few amendments were made to the student handbook, including only allowing cell phone use during the lunch period.
The board also announced the amount spent on utilities this year was less than last year.
