Citing rising utility costs and maintenance problems, school officials have announced that Liberty Elementary will close at the end of the 2013-14 school year.
Oldham County Schools Superintendent Paul Upchurch distributed a letter to parents Tuesday explaining the decision to close the 87-year-old facility.
The decision comes after years of maintenance and utility needs, which have included mold and air conditioning problems, among other infrastructure concerns.
Roughly 400 students attend Liberty.
