It may take a few years but early discussion about a new or replacement elementary school, pre-K through five in Junction City&nbsp; has surfaced.

During discussion that included focus areas for 2024, USD 475 Superintendent of Schools Dr. Reginald Eggleston informed the Board of Education that there should be consideration about a possible new school but some steps would need to occur.&nbsp;

--A review of current facilities looking at their age and enrollment&nbsp;

--Looking at potential funding sources that could be pursued&nbsp;

--Consider the Morris Hill Elementary School blueprint used on that new school.&nbsp;

Eggleston noted other things would need to be considered but there could be a conversation if there is interest on the part of the Board. The Superintendent estimated that any project would probably take several years. Replacing a building or adding a building would also be part of the conversation.
