Map: Five schools approved for closure

A week after voting to change boundaries and close five schools, there's still much more to be decided.

On Monday, the Wichita School Board decided three new buildings will take the name of the school program moving in -- Mueller, Isely and Northeast Magnet.

The board will have to name the new K-8 in south Wichita and the new south elementary school currently under construction.

District policy dictates they are named for deceased individuals. The board is asking for suggestions and a committee will help decide.
