School Board opens bids, sets millages
The Concordia Parish School Board took under advisement two bids for foundation repair at two Ferriday schools and adopted tax millages for 2009 at the same rate as the year before.
That action came during the board's regular meeting Thursday night.
Base bids on the foundation work included Wilmar Construction of Vidalia at $569,588 and R.A. Edgin Construction of Natchez at $617,000.
The bids were taken under advisement.
Busness Manager Tom O'Neal said the foundations are cracking and sinking at the Ferriday Junior High Annex and one wing at Ferriday Upper.
The board also agreed to keep tax millages for 2009 the same as last year, including constitution, 2.84 mills; construction, 12 mills; and general operation, 23.08 mills.
These taxes presently generate, said O'Neal, the following: constitution, $334,990; construction, $1,415,451; and constitution, $2,722.384.
