The Auburn Washburn Board of Education approved several formal actions in a meeting that included construction updates, curriculum proposals and personnel items.
The board approved a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) amendment of $5,589,745 for the Washburn Rural High School multipurpose building project.

The board approved changes to job titles and descriptions for the MIS paraeducator and the MIS data manager. All recorded motions that reached a vote passed unanimously, 6–0.
