USD 475 has reported that the federal Office of Economic Adjustment Director Patrick O’Brien this past week gave the authorization for USD 475 to submit a formal grant application for a potential new elementary school on Fort Riley.  That followed meetings in Washington D.C. with USD 475 officials.

The grant would be used to replace Jefferson Elementary School.

Work on the grant application is under way and if approved there could be a new elementary school in the coming years.
