As part of the partnership, the district will also be constructing two new elementary schools to replace buildings in Haskins and Weston, Ohio, as well as remodeling the existing elementary building in Grand Rapids, Ohio. Demolition of the former junior high school building, which recently moved to the campus in Tontogany, commenced in early July 2008.In 2009 the State of Ohio notified the Otsego Board of Education that the district did not have sufficient numbers of elementary students to justify building two schools.
