Board approves purchase of small parcel near Jacks Creek Elementary
Summary
The Chester County School Board approved buying an adjoining parcel at Jacks Creek Elementary after district staff said the landowner offered to sell; the transcript records the price as '35' but does not specify currency or units.
The Chester County School Board approved the purchase of a parcel adjacent to Jacks Creek Elementary during its Sept. 12 meeting.
Speaker 2 (district administrator) told the board the parcel resulted from a prior in-kind swap with Carl Nichols and said Nichols has offered the district the option to buy the property. Speaker 2 and Speaker 1 discussed liability and cleanup needs. When the motion was made and seconded, Speaker 1 announced the price as "35," but the transcript does not state whether that figure represents dollars, thousands of dollars or another unit; the board approved the purchase by voice vote.
District staff said the purchase is intended to improve the appearance and access at the campus and that no building is planned for the parcel. Speaker 2 noted the need to confirm additional clearing costs before final actions take place. The transcript does not provide a written contract or a complete price specification; follow-up documentation would be required to confirm the purchase price and closing details.
