We are pleased to share that the Board of Education voted unanimously to sell the former Hillside Elementary School and property at their monthly board meeting on Tuesday, January 14. After two community listening sessions and several planning meetings, the Board’s decision was rooted in the community’s feedback as they sold the property to a single-family home residential builder. The process of the sale will likely be completed in the next 120 days and will save the District money in demolition costs as well as future maintenance costs that can now be invested in other District facilities. 

This sale marks the completion of a 2023 strategic goal in facility planning targeting two District properties; the Hillside property and Fairview South, which will be renovated this summer. More information on the sale and background on the facility planning process can be found here. 

District efforts have already turned to completing a Master Facility Plan for our active facilities, and we look forward to sharing updates and engaging the community as the plan is developed.
