Board votes to call special electors meeting to enable sale of 33-acre district parcel; vote result not recorded in transcript

The board discussed putting approximately 33.555 acres of district-owned land along State Highway 89 up for sale and moved to call a special meeting of electors so the district may purchase a reversionary right held on a 13-acre portion.

Administration explained the parcel’s history: portions were purchased and portions donated; voters previously decided not to site an elementary school there. Declining enrollment reduced the district’s near-term need for the land, and multiple developers have expressed interest in building single-family housing on the site. One 13-acre portion adjacent to Unsaven Lane has a reversionary right in favor of the Young family (first right of refusal if the district does not build a school-related facility). The district’s proposed annual meeting of electors would authorize purchasing that release of reversionary rights so the 33-acre tract can be sold in its entirety.

A board member moved to direct the school district clerk to call a special meeting of electors on Monday, Feb. 16 at 5:45 p.m. to authorize the purchase of the release of reversionary rights for Parcel No. 246-0713-2424-002 pursuant to Wisconsin Statute 120.10(5). The motion was seconded. The chair noted City Hall cannot host the meeting because of an election the next day and that the special meeting will be held immediately before the regular February board meeting. The transcript asks for a roll call vote but does not record the outcome in the available segments.
