City and school district discuss transfer of Kwa Elementary gym to Belgrade for year-round recreation use
Summary
Staff told the board the city owns the Kwa Elementary gym building but the school district has been maintaining and renting it; discussions are underway to transfer management to the city so it can serve as indoor recreation space.
City staff told the board they are negotiating with the school district to transfer the Kwa Elementary School gymnasium into city management. The director said the city currently owns the building but the school district has been operating and renting the gym; staff have met with the district to outline a transition process and expect to assume management after completing necessary maintenance and coordination.
The director said the gym would be a valuable indoor recreation space for year-round programming in a community with long winters and relatively few indoor facilities. No final transfer date was announced; staff said they would continue working with other departments to finalize maintenance plans and scheduling before fully taking over operations.
