Options for KES include a possible sale of the property or an investment in the property and continuing to rent it and maintain it. Administration sought feedback on next possible steps from the committee.
The committee raised some questions - how many students are we currently serving at D100. In the appraisal would we do better to tear down the building or keep it standing?
Discussion occurred around the possible sale of KES and that it might be timely because we have a current renter.
The Committee advised that it would be helpful to know if the current renters would have an interest in purchasing the site
KES will be coming forward to the Board in the coming months for next steps.
