Ag program to purchase wielding booths

NEW KNOXVILLE – The New Knoxville Board of Education heard at their Monday night meeting, on Jan. 11, that the Ag program’s new welding booths will be a reality.
Superintendent Kim Waterman said that the school had received enough donation funding to submit a purchase order for two new welding booths and an exhaust system. The Ag program additions may possibly be available for students this spring, if installation goes as planned. Waterman reminded the Board that instructor Rusty Knapke’s goal is to have a total of four welding booths installed, at a cost of $4400 each, so donations are still being accepted. The most recent donation came from Bambauer Fertilizer and Seed. Others were New Knoxville Supply, Brett Fledderjohann and Tom and Diane Fledderjohann.
