Altamont Board to Seek Grants

Altamont school board members Monday voted to seek two grants.

Both requests are for 50/50 matching grants, one for maintenance work, the other for energy efficiency.

The Altamont district plans to use the maintenance grant for carpet and tile replacement at both Altamont Grade School and Altamont Community High School, and will use the energy efficiency funding for exterior lighting upgrades at both the grade school and high school.

The Board met in closed session regarding personnel, but took no action in open session.
