Resident asks whether district will sell property to cover $12 million-plus deficit; administration denies selling schools
Summary
A resident asked whether the district planned to liquidate buildings to cover a reported $12,000,000-plus deficit; the board replied 'We're not selling any schools' and said it is exploring interest from government agencies.
During public comment Crystal Whitaker asked whether the district planned to liquidate buildings to address a reported $12,000,000-plus budget shortfall and whether appraisals had yielded decisions about property sales. "Have we figured out what buildings we're selling to make up our 12,000,000 plus deficit?" she asked.
A board official answered, "We're not selling any schools," and stated the district was engaged in negotiations with government agencies to determine interest in properties. The board did not announce any specific sales or commitments; the administration said it would report back as negotiations progress.
The public exchange underscored community concern about the district's budget deficit and the potential impact on facilities; no formal action on facilities disposal was taken at the meeting.
