Board reviews possible move of education center and outlines surplus‑land process
Summary
Staff described an exploratory plan to buy 2101 Arena Boulevard as a new education center, explained surplus-land rules (Surplus Land Act) and 7–11 advisory committee steps, and gave preliminary financing scenarios (lease-purchase, COPs, developer-fee estimates). No purchase action was taken tonight.
District staff presented information about a potential relocation of the education center and how the Surplus Land Act and related compliance would shape any future sale or exchange of the current property (1901 Arena Boulevard). The presentation explicitly framed the discussion as exploratory: staff said there is no purchase-sale agreement and no board action tonight but detailed next steps including advising the board with a 7–11 committee and required statutory notices to other public agencies and charters.
"This is just exploration," Deputy Superintendent Bill Young said while describing the possible move to 2101 Arena Boulevard and noting that any transfer of the current site would require compliance steps under state law and public-notice procedures. Financial staff and a district advisor outlined repayment options (short-term notes, lease-purchase, COPs) and conservative annual-payment estimates based on developer-fee proceeds, and trustees later approved a preparatory resolution to declare the property as exempt surplus land exchange as a procedural step.
