Editor’s note: This is the first of two stories about ideas discussed Monday at a Great Bend USD 428 Board of Education work session on long-range planning. Part two will look at more ideas, including some that are already in the works. Great Bend USD 428 is ready to accept more 3- and 4-year-olds this fall at Riley Elementary School, interim superintendent Khris Thexton told the school board when it met Monday for a study session.Long-range planning at USD 428 could lead to some sweeping changes, such as moving sixth graders to the middle school and razing the oldest part of the Washington Early Childhood Learning Center to make room for a new addition.
Riley School may expand pre-K; 6th grade could move to middle school
