HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The USD 308 School Board got to see Lincoln Elementary School and meet with its staff during Monday night’s meeting.

This was the second time that the board took its meeting on the road to one of the district’s schools.

Lincoln is one of the oldest schools in the district, dating back to Southside School at Maple and Bigger in 1887. The original school stood until 1923 when it was replaced by the first Lincoln Elementary, which then was replaced by the current school a block to the east in 1972.

Principal Darla Fisher and her staff gave an update about learning activities at the school as part of the meeting.

During that meeting, the board approved the annual contract for snow removal. The district contracts with Miller Homebuilders, Inc. to remove snow from the east Sports Arena parking lot for student parking when there is heavy winter precipitation.
