HUTCHINSON, Kan. – The USD 308 School Board Monday learned the district’s Boundary Study Committee will take a look at boundary scenarios when members next meet on Sept. 29.
The committee of parent representatives and principals from the district’s eight elementary school was formed this summer to work with a consultant to redraw the internal boundaries. The Board met with RSP Associates in August, the consultant hired by the district. The committee has met twice to provide RSP Associates’ staff with input.
The committee has added another study session to its schedule before having a public forum meeting at 6 p.m. Oct. 13 in the Career and Technical Education Academy.
The board also heard the annual summer maintenance report. It takes about 1.34 million square feet of facility space for the district’s 800 staff members to educate nearly 5,000 students.
Bob Williams, director of support services, told Board members crews were busy over the summer on projects ranging from recarpeting to boiler replacement to deep cleaning to painting a wide range of facilities, including parking lots. Staff also maintained the district’s 53 vehicles and mowed the various lawns, practice facilities and playing fields.
Monday’s meeting was the first meeting for new Board Member Kail Denison. She replaces Stephanie King, who resigned last month because her family is moving out of the district. King was on hand for the meeting and received a plaque, recognizing her service on the Board.
