Gym to get handicapped seating
Placeholder Image
It’s been an issue for several years.The original bleachers in the main gymnasium at Great Bend High School dating to the building’s construction in 1951 don’t make accommodations for those with handicaps. That is about to change, the Unified School District 428 School Board decided Tuesday afternoon.The Board, gathering at Lincoln Elementary School for its monthly luncheon meeting, approved seeking bids for handicapped seating. The current seats have only been modified periodically since the school was built.The bleachers at GBHS’s Memorial Stadium were updated last year and include new seating for the handicapped, said district Business Manager Dan Brungardt.
