INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. — Sitting vacant, the old K-2 school in Incline Village is still waiting for a future.

The Washoe County School District gave an informational report about the Southwood Boulevard property to its board of trustees on Jan. 26, but no action was taken.

Mike Boster, WCSD capital projects planner, said after staff meets with superintendent Heath Morrison, it anticipates making a recommendation to the board in March or April.

“We're just kind of waiting to meet with our superintendent to see what his ideas are for next steps,” Boster said.

After appraisals late last year, the property's value was determined at $3.7 million to $4.6 million if the building is left on the property, and $4.6 million to $5.5 million if the building is demolished. According to previous reports, the building would require $10 million in renovations over the next 10 years and asbestos abatement work if left standing.

Boster said given the property's value and non-use, tearing it down and then selling it is probably the district's smartest strategy, since the building in its current state doesn't benefit the district's students.

“We've gotta do what's in the best interest of the students here in Washoe County,” he said. “The best use of that property is probably to take down that property.”

Trustees prefer two meetings before taking action on an item, Boster said, as that allows for all questions to get answered on both sides.

“We've forwarded all that information to our board,” Boster said.

The 40-year-old building has not been used since the renovated Incline Elementary School opened in 2009.
