During the Vian School Board meeting held Monday members discussed a possible vote to purchase property for future school use.

However, Lawrence Barnes, superintendent, said no property purchased. He said there is a possible purchase in the future but as of now, the purchase is in the preliminary stages.

“We may relocate the bus barn due to the fact the school is running out of room,” Barnes said. “We are just questioning the idea right now.”

Barnes said it was possible in future board meetings to have an architectural firm attend to show plans and discuss ideas. The board is looking into different bond issues for school expansion. He said no action was taken on the school building project during the meeting.

In other business, Amanda Risley was hired as the new elementary teacher assistant. Lori Lease will be the new para-professional aide for the 2009-10 school year.

Payroll, encumbrances and warrants for all funds were approved.
