Wautoma Area School District
Approved 12/10/81
Revised 10/14/99
Each year at the District's Annual Meeting, the electorate must approve a resolution authorizing the Board of Education to dispose of District property no longer needed for public school purposes. Once the resolution is approved at the Annual Meeting, the district administrator will advise the Board when certain property is no longer needed for public school purposes. The Board, upon receipt of this report and at its discretion; declare that such property is no longer needed for public education, and establish the means for its disposal.
In the case of real estate, once the Board has determined that it is no longer needed for public school purposes, formal steps shall be undertaken to dispose of this real estate in accordance with the manner prescribed by State law. The Board of Education will authorize the district administrator to take appropriate action in disposing of such property as outlined here:
1. Obtain a real estate appraisal reflecting the fair market value, or obtain formal or informal bids on other capital outlay items.
2. Notify local government authorities that such property is no longer needed for school purposes and invite a proposal if there is a need for such property.
3. Follow the procedures in the manner prescribed by State law for the sale of the real estate.
4. Upon receipt of final bid, the District Administrator will make a recommendation for Board action.
