Board agrees to negotiate transfer of Mary Bramblett School property to Gaffney
Summary
Trustees approved delegating authority to the superintendent to work with legal counsel to negotiate and execute agreements to transfer or gift Mary Bramblett School property to the city of Gaffney; trustees sought confirmation that the city requested the transfer and staff said the city administrator made the request.
The Cherokee County School Board voted to authorize the superintendent, working with legal counsel, to negotiate and execute any necessary agreements to transfer or gift Mary Bramblett School property to the city of Gaffney, consistent with district policy and in the district’s best interest.
Trustees asked whether the city had made a formal written request or taken a vote; Dr. Fitzpatrick said he met with the city administrator and the city asked for the property. Trustees were told the district attorney is processing the legal steps and that if the city later sells or no longer uses the property it would revert to the district under the proposed terms. The motion passed unanimously.
The board requested that staff ensure legal documentation and a formal written request are on file; staff indicated the recommendation already includes working with legal counsel to document the transfer.
Next steps: legal counsel will finalize terms and staff will report back to the board when a formal agreement is ready for final approval.
