Trustees table bids for two elementary properties after top offer of $20,100 deemed too low
Summary
Bids for Central and Shive elementary properties were tabled Oct. 13 after trustees, citing a single top bidder offering $20,100 for each site, concluded the price was too low and asked staff to pursue additional outreach options.
The Vernon ISD Board on Oct. 13 tabled consideration of bids for Central Elementary and Shive Elementary after trustees said the top offer for each property was too low.
Assistant Superintendent Blaise Boswell told trustees the district received two bids for Shive and one for Central. The top bid for both properties came from the same person and was $20,100 for each site. Trustees said they believed that level of bidding did not reflect expected value and discussed other avenues to publicize the sale and solicit more interest; Trustee Amanda Lehman said the board "owed the community to try something different." The board took no sale action and tabled both items.
The transcript does not record details of potential outreach strategies or a timeline for relisting the properties. The board's direction was to return with options for broader notice or alternative sale approaches at a future meeting.
