District explores selling Maywood School to the City of Monona

What happened

On June 9 the board voted 6-1 to ask administration for a non-binding letter of intent from the City of Monona about buying the Maywood School building at 902 Nichols Road, due by Aug. 31. On Aug. 11 the superintendent reported that the City of Monona's letter of intent had arrived, with no action taken. In December 2025 the board had also approved hiring a real estate broker to study the building's value and possible sale.

Why it matters to families

Selling a school building changes how the district uses its space and can bring in one-time money. Contract talks start only after the board reviews the letter.

The evidence

The June 9 minutes record the motion and roll call (6 aye, 1 nay). The Aug. 11 minutes list an informational update on the Maywood property and the letter of intent. The Dec. 16 minutes record the broker authorization (7-0).
