Excess land at Jackson Elementary School, 2727 North Woodlawn: approximately 17 acres. 2. Blackbear Bosin Academy, 6113 East 11 th Street: property, land, and improvements. 3. Metro-Boulevard Alternative School, 751 South George Washington Boulevard: property, land, and improvements. 4.

The recommendation to declare these properties to be surplus is being made because the properties are vacant, there are no future plans for the properties to be used by the District for any reason, the properties are expensive to maintain, and the sale of the properties will provide cash to the District. In order to sell the properties, the Board must first by Resolution declare the properties to be surplus. Two (2) weeks after the properties are declared surplus, the Board can sell the properties. Recommendation: It is recommended the Board approve the Resolution that declares the above listed properties to be surplus. Wichita BOE Meeting April 24, 2017 Page 5 of 6
