POLICY 4-3.5 RETIREMENT OF
FACILITIES
Certain Montgomery County
Public School buildings may become unsuitable for their present use but may be
used to benefit the school division or public in other ways. In determining when a facility is to be
retired, the Montgomery County School Board may consider the following factors,
among others:
1. The adaptability of the building for continued use for its
present purpose;
2. The suitability of the site of the building;
3. The maintenance and upkeep of the building costs; and
4. The historic value of the building to the community.
The School Board shall
invite the viewpoints of community residents and staff in making its decision
to retire a school building. If the
School Board determines to close a facility, it will first consider other uses
that the school division might make of the building prior to considering
relinquishing possession of the building.
