HUTCHINSON, Kan. (KWCH) - Next school year, the Hutchinson school district will be down one of its elementary schools. Monday night's decision by the USD 308 Board of Education to close Lincoln Elementary and combine it with McCandless Elementary is the result of an ongoing teacher shortage and a drop in enrollment at Lincoln Elementary. During Monday night's special meeting, the public had a chance to weigh in. Many voiced opposition to the planned school merger, wanting to keep Lincoln Elementary School open.
