School board approves purchase of two Stonebrook Crossing lots for house-construction program
Summary
The Sheboygan Area School District committee approved a $107,800 offer to buy Lots 75 and 76 in Stonebrook Crossing for its student house-construction program; closing is scheduled for Jan. 30, 2026. Board members praised the program’s educational and community benefits.
The Sheboygan Area School District’s Committee of the Whole voted to approve an administrative recommendation to offer $107,800 to Stonebrook Crossing LLC for Lots 75 and 76 in the Stonebrook Crossing subdivision, Speaker 2 said. Closing was set for Jan. 30, 2026.
The purchase supports the district’s house-construction program, which board members said combines hands-on learning with community development. Speaker 4 told the board the district has operated in the subdivision since 2021 and has successfully built and sold homes for the program purpose, noting the initiative’s long track record that began in 1998 and now approaches roughly 30 houses built.
Board members praised the project as an instructional opportunity. Speaker 2 said the program lets students “leave their legacy” and helps families return to the community. The motion to approve the offer was moved by Speaker 2 and seconded by Speaker 3; an oral vote concluded with an affirmative 'aye' and Speaker 2 declared the motion carried.
The district did not provide a detailed roll-call vote in the transcript. The administration indicated the purchase would keep the house-construction program active and support future student projects.
The board moved on to other agenda items after approving the purchase; closing is scheduled for Jan. 30, 2026.
