BUHLER, Kan. — The Buhler School district has been trying to sell off the Obee Elementary School ever since it closed its doors six years ago.
On Monday the USD 313 Board gave approval to an offer from T-Real Estate to purchase the small school building just east of the airport for $55,000.
The district had been trying to sell the building after it was closed and students were moved to other areas of the district. The move came when the new Plum Creek Elementary School opened.
With few takers the district then decided to use the facility as a day care center. But the amount of work needed to make that a reality was more than the district wanted to take on. The building was rented out occasionally and at one time a home school group used it for various activities.
