Board approves resolution to formalize transfer of city parcel near Mains Elementary
Summary
Trustees approved a resolution authorizing the city to vacate a parcel north of Mains Elementary so the district can formalize use of the land for a preschool site; the record notes the district used the property informally for years and one trustee abstained due to personal involvement.
The Calexico Unified Board approved a resolution authorizing the City of Calexico to vacate a parcel immediately north of Mains Elementary so the district can formalize its use for educational and preschool purposes.
Superintendent Jimenez explained that a family‑resource center previously straddled district and city property and that the city’s interest in vacating and transferring the parcel to the district will regularize longstanding, informal district use. He said the parties — the district, city officials and the county registrar of land property — have worked together to document the parcel and advance a formal transfer so the district can proceed with a preschool center and related programs.
Trustees discussed the interagency work and thanked city and county representatives. Trustee Castillo abstained from the vote, citing personal involvement in the matter; the resolution was otherwise approved by the board.
District staff presented the action as a routine land‑transfer formalization following years of practical district use of the property; the board recorded the approval and instructed staff to continue interagency coordination to complete the property transfer and necessary filings.
