Several bids were discussed during the meeting of the Marshall School Board on Tuesday, May 25.

All of the bids were approved unanimously, except one.

Assistant Superintendent Dr. Terry Lorenz presented three bids for pest-control services- Steve’s Pest Control for $2,093.50 per month or $25,122 per year; Ecolab for $925 per month or $11,100 per year; and Orkin for $1,728 per month or $20,736 per year. A motion was made by Dr. Erin Meyer to accept the bid from Orkin, but it died due to a lack of a second.
