The Beatrice Public Schools Board of Education approved buying new playground equipment at its meeting on Monday evening. “We seriously considered moving the equipment, but there were a couple of things that got in the way of that,” he said. In other business the board approved the resignation of BHS Principal Jason Sutter. He has served as the high school principal for 25 years. The board also approved the contract for James Ford as the elementary principal for the 2024-2025 school year.
