WICHITA, Kan. (KAKE) - The Wichita School Board voted 6-1 on Thursday to approve the sale of Park Elementary to the City of Wichita. 

The school, located at 1025 N Main, is now set to sell for $1 to the City. 

The vote comes just weeks after the City announced the former school is set to become a multi-agency resource center for the homeless.

In March, the school board voted to close six Wichita schools due to a $42 million budget shortfall.
