Urbandale school to be demolished. Budget cuts complicate what's next.

The Urbandale Community School District plans to tear down a former elementary school, with the longer-term future of the property still to be decided in the months ahead amid budget uncertainties. The Urbandale school board voted in September to pause construction of a new administration office building at the site of Rolling Green Elementary School at 8100 Airline Ave., but opted to continue with the demolition of the former school and its playground. The board will have a public hearing Nov. 23 on the plans, form of contract and estimated cost of the demolition. Rolling Green closed after the district consolidated it into Karen Acres Elementary School in 2023. The building has been decaying since, according to school board meeting documents. The school board had voted in July to demolish the building and proceed with building the new administrative offices, at a combined estimated cost from $10.2 million to $10.5 million. But what's given pause to the new offices is public perception of the district's finances. Faced with declining student enrollment, Urbandale schools will have to trim $7 million from the operating budget over the next five years, starting with $2.5 million to be cut from the 2027-2028 school year's
