The Wilkes County Board of Education will consider the sale and disposal of Board of Education-owned real property, including land and buildings, as authorized by law. The Board of Education is guided in its decisions by its commitment to help students succeed by providing appropriate facilities and to use its resources in a fiscally and environmentally sound manner.
Any sale or disposal of real property, including school buildings, will be conducted in accordance with statutory requirements. The superintendent will secure the services of consultants as necessary to conduct feasibility assessments and determine the fair market value. School Property will be sold at a fair market value or exchange. Leases of real property also will be at fair market value, except the Board of Education may negotiate a lesser amount with another governmental unit. Any real property to which the Board of Education holds title when deemed unnecessary or undesirable shall first be offered to the Wilkes County Board of Commissioners for purchase.
