Marshall board authorizes superintendent to close property transfer to Albion Economic Development Corporation
Summary
Marshall Public Schools authorized Superintendent Rebecca Jones to sign documents transferring district-owned property in Albion to the Albion Economic Development Corporation, finalizing a purchase and development agreement approved May 19, 2025; the board approved the resolution in a roll-call vote.
Marshall Public Schools on July 21 adopted a resolution authorizing Superintendent Rebecca Jones to sign documents necessary to transfer district-owned property in Albion to the Albion Economic Development Corporation, the board said.
The transfer stems from a purchase-and-development agreement the board approved May 19, 2025. According to staff, Marshall acquired the property when it annexed Albion Public Schools in 2016; the district is transferring the parcel to support local economic development. The board identified the parcel as the narrow strip across from the Opportunity School.
The motion to approve the resolution was made by a board member identified in the transcript as Jerry and supported by Vice President Shauna Campbell. Because this was a resolution, the board took a roll-call vote; the transcript records support votes from Dr. Lauren Brown, Jerry, Derek Allen, Matt Davis, Shauna Campbell, Amanda Lankard and Dr. Mark Wacholka (recorded as “yes”). The motion passed.
No public comment on the transfer is recorded in the meeting transcript. The board did not discuss additional conditions, purchase price, or the Albion Economic Development Corporation’s planned use for the property in the July 21 record.
The board directed the superintendent to sign closing documents; the closing date referenced in staff remarks is scheduled for July 30, 2025.
