The Polk County School Board on June 10, 2025 approved a resolution authorizing the donation of the Kingsford Elementary site to McKeel Academy, Inc.

The board voted to adopt the resolution and authorized the superintendent and general counsel to execute “any and all documents related to that transfer” in order to finalize the conveyance.
What's next: general counsel and the superintendent will execute the documents necessary to record the transfer and will report back to the board when the transaction is complete.
