District Board Votes ‘Yes’ on School Closings

At the last nights board meeting, the Shawnee Mission School District Board of Education has decided to close Mission Valley Middle School. The board has also decided to move Brookwood Elementary school into the Shawnee Mission South attendance area.

As a result of the Mission Valley changes, all students attending or planning to attend Mission Valley will now attend Indian Hills Middle School starting in the 2011-2012 school year.

All Brookwood students who currently attend East will either be transfered to South next school year. Any students who went to Brookwood and currently attend East can apply to be transferred to East starting next school year.
