Replacing the vinyl flooring at Eisenhower Elementary School is one of the bigger projects USD 428 is trying to accomplish this summer.
Over time, moisture forced a few of the tiles to buckle. The Great Bend school district contracted Kustom Floors to replace the vinyl with more durable carpet tiles.
USD 428 Assistant Superintendent of Finances Khris Thexton said when a test was done to determine the concrete’s moisture concentration Kustom Floors found out there was more work to be done.

Kustom Floors will grind the floor in order for the waterproof epoxy to be applied. The extra expense will add $11,800 to the total project that is now nearing $30,000. USD 428 still expects Kustom Floors to be done with the project by August 1.
Over at Riley Elementary, the district will be installing a security entrance camera at the front door to stop unauthorized access.

The camera system put in by Dayton Security from Hoisington will allow the secretary and principal to view the camera’s video from their offices. The security system with installation will cost $1,600.
