On Tuesday, November 7, 2023 residents of the KMS School District approved a referendum to make critical improvements and address facility needs at the KMS Elementary and KMS High School buildings.

Months of meetings with architects, engineers and construction companies took place to finalize plans for the project to begin.

The KMS Elementary project began with removal of the portable classrooms and demolition of old footings and concrete.  New construction began late winter of 2025 to provide general classroom space and speciality space.  This 7500 square foot addition will meet new code-required storm shelter requirements.  

Future plans involve renovation of restrooms adjacent to the student dining area to meet ADA accessibility and age-appropriate standards.  Demolition of the current maintenance/storage garage and construction of a new maintenance/storage garage in the area of a new parking lot at the elementary school to provide additional space for events and improve safety for attendees.
