Proposed School Consolidations

Kanawha County Schools has recommended to the Board consolidating East Bank Middle School students into DuPont Middle School and McKinley Middle School students into Hayes Middle School beginning the 2025-2026 school year. In addition, the school system has recommended the consolidation of Belle, Mary Ingles, Malden and Midland Trail Elementary schools into a new, combined elementary school pending School Building Authority support. The closures of the elementary schools would not be effective until the new school was built.
