Green Acres Schoolin progress
Status set at the PRAB/School Board Meeting on May 19, 2025
Green Acres School is a site subject to a covenant held by the School Board that restricts or governs its use.
As of May 2025, the matter is being considered jointly by the School Board and the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board (PRAB). At a joint session on May 19, 2025, the School Board confirmed that the Green Acres site cannot host a new elementary school due to constraints related to its location, acreage, and other unspecified issues. No formal action has been taken to date; discussions remain exploratory, with the possibility of a property swap under consideration.
Still open
- Whether the School Board and PRAB will pursue a property swap — i.e., trading the Green Acres site for another property that could accommodate a new elementary school.
- What other site(s), if any, would be considered suitable for a school and thus eligible for a potential swap.
- What formal action, if any, either body will take regarding the covenant the School Board holds on the Green Acres site.
What members have said
- Chair Pitches
At the May 19, 2025 joint PRAB/School Board session, Chair Pitches indicated that the School Board would consider swapping Green Acres for another property only if that other site could host a school, signaling conditional willingness to explore a land exchange but stopping short of any commitment.
