From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Jan. 13, 1987:

Lawrence school board members had decided to move ahead on plans for several building projects. Additions to Kennedy, Schwegler, and Hillcrest schools were planned, as well as a new elementary school to be built on Inverness Drive.
Kansas University's director of support services Rodger Oroke said that he was planning to meet with KU budget officials this week to discuss cost-cutting possibilities in facilities operations. One of the items being considered was a work furlough.

Yup. Let's built a bunch of new schools... right before you close a bunch of older ones with rich histories. India and Kaw Valley elementary schools were closed just a few years later.
