Buhler Community,

As part of our ongoing efforts to review and manage district expenses, we have evaluated the usage of our toll-free phone lines. Because these numbers were rarely utilized, we have made the decision to discontinue them, effective immediately.

Please use our direct local numbers moving forward. For your convenience, the main lines for each building are listed below and remain available on our website:

Burkholder Administrative Center: 620-543-2258
Buhler High School: 620-543-2255
Buhler Grade School: 620-543-2240
