Board member Thomas Walker and Tom Kleptz negotiated a deal for the land that is east of the Kleptz Early Learning Center, according to a press release. It is located near where Wolf Creek runs next to the existing PK-1 building.

Right now, there are no immediate plans for the land, but it gives the district options to build in the future, district officials said.
