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, currently under joint discussion between the School Board and the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board (PRAB).
As of May 19, 2025, the School Board has confirmed that the Green Acres site cannot host a new elementary school due to constraints related to its location, acreage, and other unspecified issues. The matter was discussed during a joint School Board and PRAB work session on May 19, 2025, though no formal action or vote was taken at that time. The central issue under consideration is whether a property swap — trading Green Acres for another site capable of hosting a school — might be a viable path forward.
Still open
- Whether the School Board will pursue swapping the Green Acres site for another property, contingent on that other site being able to accommodate a new elementary school.
- What other property or properties, if any, could be identified as candidates for a swap with the Green Acres site.
- What formal action, if any, PRAB or the School Board will take regarding the covenant on the Green Acres site.
