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. That is the main reason to get accurate data about our school community.


Thank you to all the community members for volunteering your time to interview our seniors. What a wonderful experience for our seniors as they get ready for life after high school! Thanks to all of you!
