Board forms public task force to guide sale/RFP for Claxton School property
Summary
The board approved forming a public, non-decision-making task force to shape the request-for-proposals for the Claxton School property; the panel will include four county commission members and four school board members and will hold public meetings with opportunities for citizen input.
The Anderson County Board of Education voted to create a public task force to help develop a request-for-proposals package for the Claxton School property, the board said at its May meeting.
Chair (identified in the meeting transcript as "Chair") described the task force as advisory only—"it's not a decision making body"—and said public meetings will provide multiple opportunities for citizens to speak. The proposed membership includes four representatives from the County Commission and four from the school board; the Chair said he and Dr. Parrot will serve and that newly appointed board member Catherine Birkbeck volunteered to join.
The task force will provide input on what to include in the RFP before the district puts the property up for sale. The Chair emphasized that meetings will be public and that the task force's role is to "listen and be to folks and determining what's gonna be in the request for proposals for that property." Board members approved the recommended school-board appointments.
What happens next: the district will schedule public task-force meetings and begin drafting the RFP language with the group's input; the task force itself will not make final sale decisions, the Chair said.
