The school announced in April 2014 that the newest building constructed in the 1970s will no longer host Grades 4-6 due to declining enrollment and budget shortfalls.[3] In 2015, it was announced that the Geauga County Public Library will relocate the Newbury Station into this building.[4] On January 8, 2019, it was announced the Newbury Local School District will merge with West Geauga Local Schools beginning with the 2020-2021 school year.
