Dec. 8th is the date when the Geary USD 475 Board of Education is expected to make a decision on a site for an early childhood center. Multiple sites have been mentioned with the primary locations the former Junction City High School and a spot near the new JCHS.
One idea that seemed to be gaining traction during a BOE discussion Thursday evening called for putting a hold on usage of the former high school property owned by the district while an application is submitted for a federal grant. A decision on a location for the facility would then be made once officials know the status of the grant. The property near the new high school would have to be purchased by USD 475.
There is one plan for a 32-classroom facility which could accommodate early childhood student needs. It could also be built to allow for future expansion.
Right now no final decisions have been made.
