Board accepts transfer of 218 Memorial Drive from school board, clearing way for sale
Summary
Supervisors approved transfer of property at 218 Memorial Drive from the Russell County School Board to the Board of Supervisors to allow the school board to proceed with a sale; the governing board will determine the use of any proceeds.
The Russell County Board of Supervisors approved the transfer of 218 Memorial Drive from the Russell County School Board to the Board of Supervisors, a procedural requirement under the Code of Virginia to allow the school board to complete a sale.
Supervisor Andrew Hensley asked where the funds from a potential sale would be directed. County Administrator Lonzo Lester said the transfer is part of the statutory process: "under the code of Virginia, this has to come before, you know, be our property has before the sale has to be transferred to the governing board. This is part of the process, before they can proceed for the closing." Lester added that decisions on the use of funds are at the governing board's discretion.
A school official (name redacted in the meeting transcript) informed the board that the school division had requested consideration of using sale proceeds to install new heating and cooling units at Lebanon Middle School; Lester confirmed that would be a matter for the board to consider if proceeds are received.
A motion to accept the property was made and seconded and the board approved the transfer by voice vote. No formal sale occurred at the meeting; the vote clears the statutory step required to allow the school board to proceed with closing the sale.
