WEM superintendent: Morristown building sale 'on hold'; leasing discussed
Summary
Superintendent Mark Winter said School District 288 remains interested in the Morristown building but purchase appears unlikely in the near term; the building may be vacant next year and leasing was discussed but not pursued.
Superintendent Mark Winter updated the board on the status of the Morristown building site, saying School District 288 remains interested but is "on hold." Winter told trustees an 11-member superintendent team for District 288 will meet in January and that a purchase did not look imminent; as a result, the building may remain empty for the upcoming school year. Leasing the facility was briefly discussed but no concrete steps were taken.
Winter framed the update as informational; no motion or direction was recorded beyond the report. The board did not approve any sale or lease at the Dec. 15 meeting. Any future change in the building’s status will depend on follow-up discussions with District 288 and possible leasing negotiations.
The board will continue to monitor the property and may return to the item when District 288 reports its superintendent team’s conclusions.
