Construction is starting to wrap up on the big-ticket bond projects at school districts in the Wichita area, signaling a new generation of more spacious and modern education facilities. In Derby, work on a new Cooper Elementary finished in the fall, and a new building for Oaklawn Elementary opened at the start of the spring semester. Andover Public Schools’ most recent completion was an aquatics center attached to the new Andover High. Before that, work finished on a new Center for Professional Studies, home to a program that equips students with the employability skills they need to succeed in the workforce. The latest additions to the Maize school district are two intermediate schools for fifth- and sixth-graders, and a trendy new performing arts and aquatics center.
