Valley Heights plans school consolidation

(KMZA)--The Valley Heights School Board is moving forward with plans that could eventually consolidate all students on one campus.

The Marysville Advocate reports the board voted October 20th to begin planning for a new elementary school and gym at the junior-senior high campus.

One of the district’s two grade schools will close beginning in the 2027-28 school year, but the board has not decided whether Waterville or Blue Rapids will be affected.

The district says declining enrollment trends, finances and building conditions are driving the need for changes.

The board’s action does not approve construction or a bond election. Voters rejected more than 18-and-a-half-million dollars in school bonds in 2022.
