(KLZA)-- Falls City Public School Superintendent Tim Heckenlively reported during the District 56 Board meeting Monday night, the district is in discussion with Lund Company in regards to the initial stages of planning for an expansion project at North Elementary School.

The Board has received preliminary designs proposing the addition of two classrooms, a therapy room, a parent meeting space, and teacher offices.

The expansion would help increase the school districts childcare capacity and potentially consolidate all early childhood services into a single facility, allowing the district to streamline services and provide more effective support to students.

The proposed expansion project would be part of a Project WORDS Grant, aimed at enhancing educational opportunities for the districts youngest students.
