Summary

After discussing lease, sale and gifting options, the board voted unanimously to gift the Hollister Elementary School building to the City of Hollister, adding a right-of-refusal clause allowing the district to assist in keeping the building as a school.

The board debated options for Hollister Elementary's future — leasing, selling or gifting the building — and considered the financial, maintenance and community impacts of each option. Meeting minutes record that "the mayor of Hollister was included in several discussions and it seems the community would like to have the building back."

Trustee Joe Maloney moved that the Filer School District gift the Hollister Elementary School back to the City of Hollister "with the right of refusal clause added that would allow the Filer School District to help maintain the building as a school." Trustee Jeff Volle seconded; the motion, which was specified as applying to the building only (contents to be decided later), carried unanimously.
