Olathe School Board votes to repurpose Westview Elementary School
The motion passed 6-0.
The district says the school, located just northeast of K-7 and Parker Street has seen a 40% decline in enrollment since 2015.
The board says the school will be repurposed into an alternative learning center because they say the need for specialized education in the district has increased.
The board says they will start looking at the redrawing of school boundaries in September.
