The expansion of the Johann-Conrad-Schlaun-Gesamtschule in Nordkirchen is facing rising costs. The project, which involves adding twelve classrooms for upper-level students, began construction in the autumn of 2025 with an expected completion date in late February 2027.

Following a decision by the state of North Rhine-Westphalia to withdraw from overall planning, the expansion was decoupled from the Hotel-Quartier area and moved directly to the school campus. Municipal administration documents indicate that additional expenses have emerged due to on-site conditions and the technical requirements of connecting the new building to the existing school structure.
