HUTCHINSON, Kan. — USD 308 Superintendent Mike Folks notes that the study of the district that was approved earlier in the school year is going forward.
"RSP and Associates, they toured the district last month and spent an entire day walking around," Folks said. "There was just a couple buildings they did not have time to get to. They have been asking for all kinds of information, from principals, from Randy Norwood, our director of operations and myself. We've done all kinds of enrollment sharing. They plan on being back in the district on March 31. They will finish their tours."
The consultants will also meet with the superintendent's advisory committee.
"I call it a comprehensive facilities study," Folks said. "They're going to look at enrollment trends. They're going to look at grade level configuration. They're going to look at efficiencies, building capacities, all of those kinds of things to make sure that we have a solid plan for years to come."
The process is going to take some time. The intent is to have information to the Board of Education by early 2022.
