A report on the land purchase was presented at this week’s meeting of the district trustees.
District 2 Superintendent Craig Dougherty said the purchase will be made using a $1.4 million donation from Homer “Scotty” and Janet Scott.
Dougherty said the district isn’t in a hurry and won’t rush through the process, but he and others do want to start identifying and prioritizing the greatest needs of the district’s students. He said the goal is to create a plan that addresses the greatest number of needs possible for the students and the community.
He said the district’s capital construction committee and the board of trustees will be involved as well as other stakeholders.
