Summary
The board gave consensus to appraise a 2.25-acre parcel near Anthony Elementary for possible sale to a nonprofit dental clinic serving individuals with severe disabilities and agreed to hold an attorney‑client session on case 24CA977 during a recess of the March 5 meeting.
During board comments, staff attorneys described an approach from a nonprofit that wants to buy a 2.25-acre parcel near Anthony Elementary to build a dental clinic serving adults with severe disabilities. Attorney Jeremy Powers said the parcel is available for outright sale, asked whether the board wanted facilities to run an appraisal and the board gave consensus to proceed with an appraisal and follow-up steps such as title work and contract preparation if the valuation supports a sale.
Separately, Attorney Powers requested an attorney‑client session under Florida statute section 286.011 to discuss pending litigation (case number 24CA977, Lawrence Gilbert and Betty Gilbert v. School Board of Marion County). He proposed holding the attorney‑client session during a recess of the March 5 administrative briefing and work session; the board clerk was asked to publish reasonable public notice and a court reporter will transcribe the session. The board accepted the recommendation to schedule the closed attorney‑client session and to publish the statutory notice.
