The board Monday approved the expenditure of $18,000 to place standardized emergency kits, which include school evacuation plans, medical supplies and bottled drinking water, at each site for the 1986-87 school year.
Another $10,500 was approved for the purchase of hand-held, two-way radios for each school for communication with the district administration office.
The money will come from the district’s 1985-86 lottery funds, which total $2.9 million.
