Karns City school board members made it official earlier this week—Sugarcreek Elementary will be closing.
The final day of operation for the school will be in June 2023.
The plan had been in the works for the past couple of months as the district looks to renovate and expand Chicora Elementary School.
District officials say those renovations should be complete by the summer of 2023—meaning all kindergarten through sixth graders will be in Chicora Elementary School that fall.
Karns City School District will continue to own the building, but hopes to sell the school once the transition is complete.
