Summary

After a closed session, the Box Elder School District board voted to declare the property at 820 North 100 East in Brigham City surplus and authorized district leadership to negotiate an exchange with Brigham City to secure a future school site. The surplus declaration passed 5–1; negotiation authorization passed by voice vote.

The board voted on two action items after returning from closed session. Julie Taylor moved and a board member seconded a motion declaring the property located at 820 North 100 East, Brigham City, Utah, as surplus. That motion passed with a recorded vote of five in favor and one opposed.

The board then voted to authorize the superintendent, business administrator and district real-estate agent to enter negotiations with Brigham City for an exchange of real property with the goal of securing a future school site. That motion was seconded and passed by the board.

A board member raised a cautionary point that districts should consider options to repurpose existing district buildings before declaring them surplus; the board noted that the motion reflected terms discussed in closed session and that staff would follow the negotiated parameters. No sale or final transfer occurred at the meeting; the actions authorize negotiations and a surplus declaration to enable staff to proceed.
