USD 253 Emporia board members may take the next steps toward a final sale of the former Maynard building at their regular meeting Wednesday.
Board members could select a realtor to lead the process. After Simmons Pet Food tentatively agreed to buy the building for a 24-7 daycare facility for its employees last summer, only to step away due to projected renovation costs last fall, the district has restarted the sale process but it wants a realtor involved. Coldwell Banker Emporia Real Estate, ReMax Ek Real Estate and Farm & Home have all submitted proposals.
Board members have other business ahead. The board will discuss budgetary planning through 2025, student safety, spring-semester premium pay and improvements at Walunt Elementary. Two executive sessions are planned, one for negotiations and the other for evaluating Superintendent Allison Anderson-Harder’s performance.
Wednesday’s meeting is at 6:30 pm at Emporia High.
