Monmouth-Roseville May Have Use for Closed Elementary School
Nothing is certain, but a building the Monmouth-Roseville School District closed due to budget cuts may see some new life.

District-238 Superintendent Paul Woehlke told the school board Tuesday night Willits Primary School -- one of two closed at the end of the last school year -- could end up being the new home of the Warren-Henderson-Mercer Regional Office of Education.

Woehlke says problem is, he hasn't actually heard that from the ROE themselves.

"I have been approached -- I think it was intended as an anonymous contact from a member of the County Board -- suggesting there could be some interest on the part of the County in sharing that facility with us," Woehlke said, "to be a district office and an office for the ROE."

The ROE is currently located next to the Warren County Courthouse on West Broadway Street in Monmouth.

The District 238 Board authorized Woehlke to enter into any necessary talks, but no final deal can be made without board approval.

Woehlke says it may be something to look at if the district can break even on building costs.
