Negotiations to sell Westport High need more time, school board president says
The potential sale of Westport High School remains in negotiation limbo.
The Kansas City school district is still weighing a deal with the Foutch Brothers real estate firm, which brings a potential partnership with a charter school, Academie Lafayette.
The sale of the Westport High building, which originally was turned down in a split vote by the Kansas City school board in March, is not expected to go to a new vote when the board meets Wednesday, board President Jon Hile said.
The board will receive a report on the negotiations in closed session, Hile said, but he expects more time is needed before the board will be ready to make a move.
“The district is continuing to evaluate its options,” he said.
