FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT'S DESK

Welcome to the USD298 Lincoln website.  We are off and running again – school began on Wednesday, August 18, 2010.  We have had a great start to our school year and we appreciate the positive attitude of the students and staff in all of our buildings.

 

We are gearing up for all of our many fall activities.  There will be junior high and high school football and volleyball, as well as high school cross country events throughout the fall.  This year Homecoming and the Post Rock Festival will be celebrated together in hopes of bringing more alumni and visitors to Lincoln.  The combined celebration activities will begin on Friday, October 8 and culminate on Saturday, October 9. Parent/Teacher Conferences will be held on Monday, September 20 and Thursday, September 23.  Be sure and check your school calendars and our website for other events that are planned for the month of September.

 

We will continue to monitor our district budget throughout the year as we prepare for possible budget cuts because of revenue shortfalls for the state of Kansas.  I am pleased to announce that the school district was able to maintain the mill levy tax for the 2010-2011 budget at the same level as last year. I would also like to thank all of our staff for their continued efforts to minimize spending during these difficult financial times.

 

We thank you for your support of our students, staff and district.
