School board approves sale of Lake Elmo Elementary with deed restriction
Summary
The Stillwater Area Public Schools board unanimously approved sale of Lake Elmo Elementary to Valley Community Center and added a deed restriction prohibiting future use as a public, charter, or private school.
The Stillwater Area Public Schools board voted to sell Lake Elmo Elementary to the Valley Community Center, approving terms that include a deed restriction barring future use of the property as a public, charter or private school.
The board approved the sale on a motion by School Board member Alison Sherman, seconded by School Board member Andrew Thelander; the motion carried 7-0. The deed restriction is a closing condition included in the sale agreement, according to the agenda summary.
The approval came under Strategic Direction C (Utilize Systems and Align Resources in an Efficient Manner to Support Learning). The transcript records the board's formal vote but does not provide additional detail in open session about the buyer's planned use beyond the deed restriction.
The board's action transfers ownership of the Lake Elmo facility to a community organization while placing an enforceable limitation on future educational uses. No implementation timeline or closing date was specified in the public record for this meeting.
