There is a new elementary school being built on Fort Riley at 4720 Leonard Ave. USD 475 Board of Education member Jim Schmidt provided information during a board meeting Tuesday at the Devin Center.  "We have started vertical construction out at Fort Riley on the new elementary school. " Schmidt added the precast walls are going up. "Exciting given the amount of rain we've had out there."

The new 81,000 square foot elementary school will have the capacity for 390 students. It is being built on a piece of land where the former Jefferson Elementary School was previously located.
