District outlines consolidation savings, moving logistics and planned surplus sale
Summary
Administrators detailed estimated consolidation savings tied to moving to one building (staffing ~$472,000; transportation ~$63,000) and discussed moving logistics, the planned surplus sale (community swap April 25; hoped May 1 cleanout), and constraints on proceeds from district surplus items.
Superintendent (presenter) walked the board through estimated savings from consolidating into one building: roughly $472,000 in Fund 1 staffing savings, about $63,000 in transportation/shuttle savings, and an average utilities figure near $135,000 (a 5-year average used for projections). "That is your fund 1, staffing. That comes to $472,000," the presenter stated.
Administration described moving logistics and community engagement: they plan to use student volunteers (football and weightlifting teams) and temporary hires to move items, and the district will coordinate a community swap/sale with the Ed Foundation (announced dates: April 25 for pre-sale activity and a hoped-for May 1 open-to-public date). The presenter noted legal constraints on surplus proceeds: items donated or sold for district benefit must comply with rules that typically require funds to return to taxpayers or designated public-purpose accounts.
Board members asked about parceling and realtor work for the vacated building; administration said a realtor is assisting with parceling and that inspections and storage clearing remain tasks to complete before sale. The superintendent emphasized conservatism about counting nonrecurring proceeds as recurring savings and urged the board not to overinflate expected revenues.
Administration will continue to gather quotes for moving, identify potential donors/partners for painting and cleanup, and report back with more detailed moving and sale plans at the next meeting.
