Thursday’s vote will decide whether Eastgate and Wilburton elementary schools will be consolidated with other schools.

Construction of Wilburton Elementary School was completed in 2018 and cost taxpayers $49 million.

“I don’t know what they are going to do with it being a new school. It doesn’t make sense,” Krishan Hansen, the parent of a 5th grader at Wilburton, said last month. Another school, Ardmore Elementary, was also being considered for consolidation but has been removed from the discussion.“This process has come across as hasty, opaque, and disingenuous, leaving many in our larger community feeling frustrated, angry, and distrustful,” one parent said at an open house where families could voice their concerns.
