Yankton board accepts $11,100 high bid for Webster School property
Summary
Board approved sale of Webster School to the high bidder, Southport Premier Properties, for $11,100; district staff noted demolition estimates of $400,000–$500,000 and said the buyer has purchased and repurposed school properties elsewhere.
The Yankton School District 63-3 board approved the high bid of $11,100 from Southport Premier Properties for the Webster School property.
District staff member Shireen reported the district received two bids — $11,100 and $4,500 — through an advertised remote process. She said staff contacted superintendents in other districts where the buyer had purchased properties; in those cases the buyer’s company either repurposed properties into housing or resold to local contractors.
Shireen told the board preliminary demolition estimates for Webster School ranged from $400,000 to $500,000, and said the sale avoids that potential district expense. A board member noted the buyer’s prior purchases and expressed optimism that the property would be repurposed rather than left vacant.
A motion to approve the high bid from Southport Premier Properties for $11,100 passed on roll call. Board roll call recorded “yes” votes from named members during the meeting; the motion carried and board members moved on to subsequent items.
