The impact for USD #298 is directly related to Federal programs and funding that supports our students, schools, and the Lincoln Center area. Accurate information will benefit our Lincoln USD #298 community in many ways. The KSDE Fact Sheet shares some of the programs that bring in Dollars to Kansas and ultimately to USD #298 from the census. This information is utilized for 10 years of special funding.
