Still scarred from a 1991 tornado, Andover, Kansas, cleans up from another twister

Prairie Creek Elementary School was among hundreds of buildings and homes damaged by Friday's storm in Andover, Kansas, about a dozen miles east of Wichita.
WICHITA, Kansas — An Andover elementary school will remain closed for the rest of the school year after being heavily damaged in Friday’s tornado.

District officials said students at Prairie Creek will not have school this week. The district said it needs time to figure out how the students will continue in-person learning at other schools in the district.

Officials said Prairie Creek was the only school damaged by the storm. An inspection on Saturday showed some rooms were untouched while others had extensive damage.

The school was one of more than 1,000 buildings and homes damaged by the storm. The Andover YMCA — which is just north of the school — also suffered extensive damage and remains closed.
