It came as good news more than $1.1 million in funds headed to Newton USD 373 from insurance companies from an insurance claim filed in 2016. That money is, of course, all earmarked, said David Decker, director of business services. This is real damage that needs to be repaired. What we are happy about is this is something that will impact nearly all of our schools.
The insurance claim had gone dormant, and the claim had gone uninvestigated. Earlier this school year Chris Schaeffer, Director of Facilities, brought the dormant claim to the attention of district administration who reopened the claim.
