Regular Agenda Items: 

  • The Board of Education received a presentation on the AUSD Strategic Arts Plan

  • The Board of Education received an update on the Surplus Property Timeline

  • The Board of Education approved the negotiation of a letter of intent and purchase and sale agreement with:

    • RC Homes for the Ellington Elementary School property

    • Trumark homes for the Mountain View School Property

    • Taylor Morrison for the Powell Elementary School property

    • Melia Homes for the Former Sierra High School property

    • This action does not mean that the District is entering into an agreement; it authorizes staff to begin negotiating Purchase and Sale agreements, which would then come to the Board of Education for a vote at a future Board of Education meeting

  • From the point when a Purchase and Sale Agreement is in place:

    • The escrow process could take 24-36 months 

      • Sites would still be under District ownership at this time

      • AUSD will continue to maintain the sites until they are formally  released to a developer

    • Once the properties are formally released to a developer, the maintenance, construction, and plans for the property will become the responsibility of the developer

  • The Board of Education approved moving the December 10, 2024, Board Study Session to December 9, 2024 

  •  The Board of Education received a presentation on the 2024 - 2025 Unaudited Actuals
