Any property located in an area no longer requiring, nor reasonably expected to require within twenty (20) years, a school purpose for the property due to changes in population, enrollment, land use, or other overriding trends. Retention of the property in a vacant state for an expected long period of inactivity would be detrimental to the welfare of the community or would place an unreasonable economic burden on the School Board’s resources. Opportunities exist for adaptive use of the property by other public or nonpublic entities that would be beneficial to the community at large and would generate needed revenue for the School Board. There are no legal impediments to the disposal of the property by sale or lease to another entity. Note: Bold added for discussion purposes. 6 Age and Design of Vacant Buildings  Augustine (1927) , Dibert (1928) , Jones (1928) , Tureaud (1939)  Majority of Core Academic classrooms are below the 850 square foot standard.  No specialized classrooms for Performing Arts or Visual Arts.  Library less than current square footage standards.  No gymnasium.  (old) Moton (1986)  Square footage for Performing Arts and Visual Arts below current standards.  Library less than current square footage standards.  No gymnasium. 7 Condition of Buildings  Augustine      Dibert     Unoccupied since 2005.
