The referendum passed and a $32,000,000 million school was built on the edge of the city.[11] The new school, named Prairie Ridge Intermediate School, was opened in 2019.[12] Subsequently, South School was closed and later redeveloped into apartments.[8]

Distance education was used for the remainder of the 2019–2020 school year, ending on 22 May, earlier than originally scheduled.[14]
