Retirement of Facilities

Buildings owned by the school district may be retired from use when the Board of Education determines they are no longer educationally useful to the district and/or are unsuitable to current or projected school district needs. The master facilities plan for the district shall be the basis for consideration of facility closing, and the plan shall require examination of remodeling possibilities for other uses of the facilities. 

Because building closures are sensitive community issues, the Board of Education will appoint a committee representing a cross-section of the educational community and of school district points of view to study and recommend alternatives for Board consideration — including facilities retirement, continued school district educational use, possibilities for remodeling and refurbishing, alternative uses, and other recommendations the committee may choose to make.
