Last Thursday’s storm that damaged the roof on Lincoln Elementary School was discussed at Monday’s Great Bend USD 428 Board of Education meeting.Superintendent Brad Reed said he and Assistant Superintendent Khris Thexton began inspecting buildings that night and they found “minimal damage” at other locations in the school district. At Lincoln, he said, “It did rip off different layers and different parts of the building.” There was half an inch of water on the gym floor, but the floor won’t have to be replaced.“Luckily, the damage was confined to the gym area,” he said.
