428 USD projects include Washington, cameras – Great Bend Tribune

The oldest part of the Washington School, which is already more than 100 years old, will be demolished next year, said Assistant John Pop to Great Bend School Board on Monday.

“We had a walk with the architect,” said pop. “We will try to leave the Resource Center for Parents and Former Preschool Hands.” The area still has no cost estimate.

The POPP report on project updates includes a request for the purchase of new Great Bend Middle School cameras. It’s time to update the cameras and the area has received a grant that will pay almost half of the costs. The quote for 67 cameras and licenses of the Verkada brand was $ 106,392. The cameras will be installed in the summer.
