HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Hutchinson USD 308 Board of Education passed a motion 5-1 on Monday at a special meeting to combine Lincoln and McCandless Elementary schools and to return Graber to the boundaries used in the 2022-23 school year.
This decision did not come easily and staff will have to combine their resources into the McCandless building and all staff from both buildings will work at the combined building. No one will lose their job.
The reason they are bringing Lincoln students to McCandless is because McCandless has the most classrooms, so the combined school will have three sections of each grade K-6.
They have not decided yet details about busing and if that is a possibility, because there would be an additional cost for that.
