After a school year of Mitchell Technical College offices being up to 30 degrees colder than other rooms around the campus, the Mitchell Board of Education Monday approved the purchase of an air-handling unit that is expected to remedy the problem.
The board approved the action by unanimous vote at the Mitchell Career & Technical Education Academy during the latest regular meeting of the board.
Joe Graves, superintendent for the Mitchell School District, said school officials determined the source of the problem was an air unit in the kitchen area. The district let out bids for the project, and received one bid from Johnson Controls in the amount of $133,175, which he recommended the board accept.
