Olathe families to weigh in on new school boundaries

Board votes to close six schools

The Olathe school board voted to close six schools, prompting the next phase of the district’s planning: gathering family input on new school boundaries.

The closures are tied to proposed changes in how students are assigned to schools. The board’s vote is the decision that sets the boundary discussion in motion.

Families weigh in this week

Olathe families are scheduled to weigh in on the new boundaries this week. Their comments will address the proposed changes that follow the six-school closure decision.

The public discussion gives families a direct opportunity to respond to the boundary plan after the board action.

What to watch

The key next step is how the boundary process moves forward after families provide feedback. Attention will remain on the proposed school assignments and any subsequent action by the Olathe school board.

Families following the issue should look for announcements about the boundary process and the board’s next decisions.
