The Shawnee Mission (Kan.) district has opened a rebuilt Roesland Elementary School in Roeland Park. The new building, on the same site as the old facility, opened its doors three years after construction began. The former school, built in 1926, was falling apart and wouldn’t allow for growth. The new school has three classrooms and a conference room for each grade. During construction, Roesland students and staff made were housed several miles away in a former elementary school building in Prairie Village. The architect is ACI/Frangkiser Hutchens Architects.To read The Kansas City Star article, click here.
