District officials updated the board on the Grade School Lift project during the Feb. 10 meeting. Principal Marvin Gebhard told trustees that the openings to receive the lift will be cut in hallways over spring break and that the lift is scheduled to be installed at the beginning of summer break.
Gebhard said he has worked on grant opportunities and that the district has raised $31,200 toward the project so far. Donors called out in the packet include the Hansen Foundation, Prairieland Electric and the Norton County Community Foundation. The board discussed remaining construction logistics and the plan to complete off-site work during school break windows to minimize classroom disruption.
