Background
Seattle Public Schools
is committed to ensuring a high-quality school for every student
– a school where all students meet or exceed grade-level
expectations and graduate from high school prepared for college,
career and life. We are accountable for using existing resources
more effectively to support excellence in the classroom and
progress toward academic goals: every student achieving, everyone
accountable.
As
part of our program to effectively manage resources, we manage all
of our closed buildings to minimize cost and maximize revenues. As
of July 1, 2009, Seattle Public Schools was the owner of a total of
28 former school sites. These include the following:
Sites under contract
to be sold (3): Fauntleroy, Queen Anne Gym, University
Heights
Sites under short- and
medium-term leases (under 10 years) (5): Cedar Park, North Queen
Anne, Rainier View, Sand Point, Webster Building
Sites under long-term
lease (over 10 years) (5): Jefferson Square, Lake City, Oak Lake,
Interlake (Wallingford Center), West Queen Anne
Closed sites held
vacant for use as interim or emergency sites (4): Boren, Lincoln,
McDonald, Magnolia
Closed sites currently
vacant (10): Columbia, Fairmount Park, Genesee Hill, Hughes, Mann,
John Marshall, Old Hay, T.T. Minor, Van Asselt,
Viewlands
Closed sites declared
surplus and designated for long-term lease or sale (1): Martin
Luther King
In
June 2009 the former Crown Hill Elementary School was purchased by
the Small Faces Day Care for $1.3 million.
Martin Luther
King Site
The
School Board declared the former Martin Luther King school surplus
in 2007. The City of Seattle's Department of Neighborhoods convened
a School Use Advisory Committee (SUAC). The SUAC’s
recommendations for use of the property were approved in May 2009.
Approved uses now include churches, schools, day cares, community
centers and other activities.
The
District solicited proposals from interested firms, non-profits,
and governmental agencies to either purchase or long-term lease the
property. Four proposals were received, and they are currently
being evaluated. Please see Update above.
For
more information, the Request for Proposals, and Addendums, go
to
http://www.seattleschools.org/area/propertymgt/mlkschool.xml.
If
the School Board declares any other properties as surplus, a
similar process will be used to sell or long-term lease the
site.
Recent
Sales
In
spring 2008, the District entered into a contract to sell the Queen
Anne Gym property. This sale is projected to close during
2010.
In
June 2007, the School Board declared the Allen, Crown Hill,
Fauntleroy, University Heights, and Webster sites to be surplus to
the District’s needs. The District has negotiated sales of
the first four sites to the long-time tenant of each site and sales
have been completed for the Allen and Crown Hill sites and the
playground portion of the Webster site. The District expects to
complete sales for all these properties (except the Webster school
building) during 2009. The Webster building is rented to the Nordic
Heritage Museum through June 30, 2015.
Short- and Medium-Term
Leases
Closed school
buildings that are not declared surplus by the School Board may be
leased out for short and medium terms, up to 10 years. At this
time, the District has leased out the Cedar Park, North Queen Anne,
Rainier View, and Sand Point sites on lease terms up to 10 years.
Contact Anny Cheung-Brothers for information about these leases at
acheung@seattleschools.org.
The
lease of the Sand Point site was not renewed by the North Seattle
Community College and on July 1, 2009 the District took over
management of the building. The current sub-tenants will remain.
Future action on this site will be considered as part of the
Capacity Planning study described above.
Long-Term
Leases
Sites that have been
declared surplus by the School Board may be leased on a long-term
basis or sold. Current long-term leases (in excess of 50 years) are
in effect for the Interlake (Wallingford Center), Jefferson Square,
Lake City, Oak Lake, and West Queen Anne sites.
For
additional information on leases and sales contact Anny
Cheung-Brothers at acheung@seattleschools.org
