The board previously approved a $581,000 contract with Indianapolis-based Santarossa Mosaic & Tile Co.

The board also welcomed Drew Brown as its new student member and elected Michael Sievers vice chair, Reggie Henderson second vice chair and J.R. Gaylor secretary. Brown is a junior in the Homeland Security program.

In addition, the board, approved a baking and pastry art concentration for its Culinary Arts program and several certificate programs.
