WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) – Wichita Public Schools is hosting its first set of public listening sessions for the community to have a say in what USD 259 does with the buildings of the six closing schools.

The meeting begins at 5:30 p.m. at the Alvin E. Morris Administration Center, followed by a second listening session at 7:30 p.m. at Brooks STEM and Arts Middle School.

District leaders say they are listening before they finalize a plan.

“We have to have a broad groundwork to start with, and then we can start building the details on that once we kind of know what the public is thinking,” said Stan Reeser, USD 259 School Board President.

There will be another set of listening sessions on Tuesday. The first will begin at 5:30 p.m. at Wichita West High School. The second will begin at 7:30 p.m. at Wichita North High School.
