KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Olathe Public School leaders will talk about possibly closing an elementary school at a meeting Thursday night.
The board of education will look at a plan to close and then repurpose Westview Elementary School.
If approved, the school would close at the end of the 2025/2026 school year. The building would then be used for an alternative education program.
The school near South Parker and West Elm Street is the district’s smallest elementary school. It has an enrollment of about 150 students.
Olathe Public Schools said its enrollment has been declining across the district. The district’s Boundary Study Group has monitored enrollment trends for years and found that Westview will continue to stay in the 150-student range for the next 5 years and beyond.
The meeting to discuss the elementary school’s future is on Thursday at 5:45 p.m.
