Board to decide whether to keep or return deteriorating district property after county-attorney guidance
Summary
Board members discussed a district-owned property with a deteriorating roof and a reversion clause; county attorney advised either keep the property and fix the roof or return it to the county to enable reversion to original owners. The item was placed on the regular agenda for a vote.
Board members discussed a district-owned property with a failing roof and a reversionary history during a work session, and reported they had asked the county attorney for guidance on next steps.
The board member who briefed the group said County Attorney Dan Street told them there are two paths: keep the property and create a plan to repair the roof (to address insurance and liability risk), or transfer the property back to the county, which would then contact the original owners and allow the deed to revert to them per the original conditions. "Either a, the school board's gonna decide to keep this property ... and if you do that, you've gotta have a plan to fix that roof," the board member said, recounting the attorney's guidance.
The board member said the matter was on the regular agenda as a voting item that evening: either to keep the building and undertake repairs or to return the parcel to county control so county officials could pursue the documented reversion to the original owner family. Board members discussed logistics such as storage and moving district materials should the property be turned over; one member asked whether the county would have space to accept items currently stored at the site.
No final action was recorded in the work session discussion; the board planned to take a formal vote on the disposition as part of the regular agenda.
