Superintendent shares city letter; board to consider possible conveyance of Welch Elementary to city of Welch
Summary
Superintendent Hedberg shared a city of Welch letter stating the city could assume liabilities and expects additional sales tax revenue from an ordinance effective July 2026; a board member moved to add a possible conveyance of Welch Elementary to the next agenda for formal discussion.
Superintendent Hedberg told the board he had shared a letter from the city of Welch addressing the future of Welch Elementary and steps the city would take if it acquires the building. According to Hedberg, the city "wants to assure the board that currently has sufficient budgetary means to make any and all necessary repairs to the property" and it expects revenue from a sales‑and‑use tax ordinance taking effect in July 2026 that it would direct toward the property.
Hedberg read that the city is willing to accept a SDS quit‑claim conveyance without warranty and to assume liabilities including asbestos or other property defects if it acquires the site. Hedberg recommended placing the matter on a future board agenda as an action item for discussion and possible vote; a board member moved to add the possible conveyance of Welch Elementary to the next agenda so the board can formally consider and vote on the matter.
The discussion was procedural at this meeting: no conveyance vote occurred; staff will prepare an action item and supporting documents for a future board agenda so members can review deed language, liabilities and any proposed terms.
