District news
Plan would close Traver Road School and merge it into an expanded West Road school
What happened
As part of the 2024 building bond, the district plans an addition at West Road that would combine Traver Road and West Road into one K-5 school. The district says construction should start in fall 2026 and finish in 2029.
Why it matters to families
Families at Traver Road Primary School would move to a different building, and the combined school would change class sizes, bus routes and neighbors. The cost and state aid for the project are still being settled.
The evidence
The district's May 2026 budget newsletter describes Phase 2 as combining Traver and West Road into a unified K-5 school with a gym, media center and playground. At the May 12 board meeting the superintendent said special state legislation to raise the project's cost allowance would likely wait until next year, and state education department approval for West Road was still pending.
