A third Hutchinson USD 308 elementary school has been approved for launch as a redesign school.
After an hour-long presentation to the Kansas State Department of Education with ESSDACK looking on, Lincoln Elementary School staff were given the formal go-ahead from the department to go forward with their redesign efforts.
Or to use KSDE parlance, Lincoln received the go-ahead for a “launch” of its redesign.
Lincoln started studying the redesign process in the fall of 2019. In 2020, the school was approved by KSDE to be an Apollo II school.
“As a part of this process, the Redesign Team talked with staff members, businesses, parents, and students,” said Darla Fisher, Lincoln principal. “These conversations led the staff to create a common reason for wanting to redesign our school. Lincoln will help the students to develop a growth mindset, so that they can become community changers.”

HUTCHINSON, Kan. (AP) A Hutchinson woman whose car went off a road, killing one person and injuring six others, has pleaded guilty to one count of involuntary manslaughter while driving under the influence.
Viola Rhodes, 61, also pleaded guilty Wednesday to six counts of aggravated battery. In exchange for the plea, prosecutors agreed not to charge her with reckless second-degree murder, The Hutchinson News reported.
Rhodes was driving a carload of people on Dec. 5 when her vehicle went off a road and overturned near Yoder.
One passenger, Brian Bookout, 44, was thrown from the vehicle and later died. Two other passengers were hospitalized and four others were treated at the scene.
