Lee’s Summit School District is proposing to combine 2 elementary schools

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Lee’s Summit and Westview elementary schools would be combined into one renovated school under a plan designed to improve declining enrollment at both schools.

According to information from the school district, the renovated building would be on the grounds of Westview Elementary School.

The plan is part of identifying projects the district would put before voters in April 2025 for a bond issue of more than $200 million.

Parents at Lee’s Summit Elementary School hang signs in the courtyard urging district leaders to keep the school open.

According to information from the district, both schools have seen declines in enrollment over the past six years, which are expected to continue.

The district does not plan to sell the Lee’s Summit Elementary School building, but is considering a pre-K building and other possible choices, according to information provided by the district.

The Lee’s Summit Parent Teachers Association will meet with school district leaders Tuesday, Nov. 12, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. in the school gymnasium, 110 SE Green Street in Lee’s Summit.
