Former schools
Shidler Elementary School - The district intended to close that school in 2026 and move all students to Adelaide Lee Elementary School, which was to have a new building at that time. However in 2023 an issue with the building's structure caused the district to move many of the students to Adelaide Lee Elementary. In 2023 the district's board of education voted to immediately close the entire Shidler Elementary permanently and move all students to Adelaide Lee Elementary; the district decided that using only part of the Shidler Elementary facility would cause problems. That year the district was considering whether to repair the Shidler building and use it for another purpose.[5]
