A rendering of the future Cullman Intermediate School.

Beginning next week, West Elementary will be temporarily closed to the public until mid-July as the campus undergoes renovations related to the new intermediate school project.

Cullman City Schools Superintendent Kyle Kallhoff made the announcement during the school board’s regular meeting on Monday, May 12. While students will have already been dismissed for summer vacation, Kallhoff said any remaining on-site faculty members and administrators will be temporarily relocated to the district’s central office beginning Tuesday, May 22. Kallhoff said he anticipated employees remaining at the central office until around the middle of July.

Kallhoff added that arrangements had also been made to redirect any phone calls placed to the West Elementary campus to the central office during this time frame.
