HUTCHINSON, Kan. — One of the effects of closing Lincoln Elementary for the fall is coming up on the USD 308 Board of Education agenda on Monday.
District administration is requesting permission to allocate $150,000 to provide transportation for students between Lincoln Elementary and McCandless Elementary for the 2023-2024 school year.
Parents have let administration know that they need help in this area.
Also on the agenda to improve McCandless is a proposal with Interior Expressions and Design, Inc. of Hutchinson Kansas to provide and install solar shades blinds for 20 classrooms, 4 exterior doors, the upper windows in the cafeteria and 8 sidelight windows in classrooms and offices at McCandless Elementary.
According to administration, many of the existing blinds are not operable and therefore need replacing. Solar shades provide the needed sun block, security and are much easier to maintain and clean. Interior Expressions bid was for $52,488.
The USD 308 Board of Education will hold their regularly scheduled meeting at 6:00 p.m. Monday at the USD 308 Admin Center located at 1520 N Plum.
