Kings Highway Elementary School, at 841 W Kings Highway in West Caln Township, would get an addition of about 11,878 square feet. The plan also adds 37 parking spaces. The school sits on a 23.5-acre site and is already open as an elementary school.
The county filing is dated March 2025. Township supervisors' minutes from April 2026 appear to list the school's land development plan as an agenda item. That record could only be read through a search summary, because the page itself could not be opened. The summary says the engineer for the project presented it. It also says fire access around the east side of the new addition was a concern, and that the fire company was not looking favorably on it. The final outcome was not found.
What it could mean nearby
- Emergency access: the township discussion reportedly centered on fire-vehicle access to the east side of the addition.
- Traffic and parking: 37 added spaces suggest more staff or visitor parking on site.
- Schools: the addition expands building space at an existing elementary school, not a new school.
Where it stands
The plan appears to have been before the West Caln Township supervisors in April 2026 for land development review. Next steps usually include revising the plans to address access comments, then a formal approval vote, then building permits and construction. A final decision was not confirmed.
