flagstaff to see construction of new elementary school

A school that was built in the immediate post-World War II years in Flagstaff may soon be replaced by a new $19 million facility.

Officials with the Flagstaff Unified School District have announced plans to build a new version of the Killip Elementary School, located at 2300 E. 6th Street on the northeast side of the city.

The original and current one-story school has for years been plagued by a number of structural issues, including a faulty roof and outdated cooling, heating, and electrical systems.

According to earlier reports, the hallways of the 72 year-old school are also not compliant with Americans with Disabilities Act standards.

A facilities study conducted for the district two years ago determined that it would cost as much as $9.5 million to bring the school up to date.

Now the district has determined that it would be more cost-effective in the long run to build an entirely new school, a facility that will go up near the existing Killip Elementary School on its nearly 10-acre site.

Funding for the project is coming from the passage of two proposals by area voters in the fall of 2018, providing up to $75 million for various facility construction and upgrade efforts.

As planned, the district will host a series of public input meetings this spring on the project, before work begins early next year.
​
It is thought that the new school will be completed in time for the fall 2022 semester.
