Missoula, MT, November 3, 2026 — Missoula County Public Schools (MCPS) is actively engaged in strategic planning to address a noted trend of declining enrollment within the district. A key component of this planning involves assessing the future utilization of vacant properties owned by the school district.

The district has identified specific properties, including the Prescott site, as part of this review process. The primary objective is to determine the most effective and responsible course of action for these underutilized or vacant assets. Decisions regarding the future of these properties are anticipated as part of the broader strategy to manage the impact of decreased student numbers.

Details regarding the specific timeline for these decisions, the full list of vacant properties under consideration, or the precise nature of the enrollment decline were not provided in the available summary. Furthermore, the potential future uses for properties like Prescott, whether for educational purposes, community services, sale, or other dispositions, are yet to be detailed.

MCPS is reportedly working to align its resources and infrastructure with current enrollment figures. The process of determining the future use of vacant properties is a significant undertaking that will likely involve multiple stakeholders and thorough evaluation. Further information is expected as the district progresses with its strategic review.
