Family donates acre across from St. Helens High to district CTE programs
Summary
A local family donated roughly one acre of residential property to St. Helens School District for use by CTE programs; the district acknowledged the gift and explained donors' intent and IRS/tax guidance.
The St. Helens School District acknowledged a donation of approximately one acre of residential property across the driveway from St. Helens High School to support career and technical education (CTE) programs.
District representative (identified in the packet as Mr. Amos) read a thank-you letter to donors Steve and Julie Mood, doing business as CMN Investments LLC, describing the donation as portions of Tracts 9 and 10, Greenwood Acres, Columbia County Tax Lot 13066. The district described the parcel as roughly one acre adjacent to Building B near the Ava Meir entry and said donors intended the property to support the high school CTE program, including renovation/remodel and heavy-equipment classes.
District officials said gifts are accepted under IRS rules for tax-deductible contributions and that the district retains discretion over use and development of donated property consistent with tax rules. The district provided its tax identification number in the acknowledgement letter. No formal action or development commitment beyond transfer of title was made at the meeting.
Ending: District staff thanked the donors and noted the donation will support hands-on learning in self-sustaining CTE classes; development of the parcel beyond title transfer will depend on district planning and adherence to tax and legal guidelines.
