Ravenna board finalizes sale of Tappan Elementary to Education Alternatives

The Ravenna School District Board of Education approved a resolution to sell Tappan Elementary School to Education Alternatives at its meeting.

The Superintendent described the action as the "second final full resolution and purchase agreement, lease termination agreement, and quit claim deed," and noted that the quick‑claim deed was included as a linked backup document. "We have done the first round of this. This is the second final full resolution and purchase agreement, lease termination agreement, and quit claim deed," the Superintendent said when introducing the item.

The board moved and seconded the resolution; a roll‑call vote recorded affirmative votes from the board and the motion carried. The Superintendent had earlier told the board that the quitclaim deed and related documents were added to the agenda links as backup materials.

What was approved: the resolution to sell Tappan Elementary, the purchase agreement, a lease termination agreement and a quitclaim deed (the latter noted as attached in the agenda links). The Superintendent said these documents complete the purchase package.

What the transcript does not specify: the sale price and detailed closing timetable were not stated on the record and are recorded here as not specified. The board directed staff to proceed with the documents and file the deed and purchase paperwork as appropriate.

Next steps: district operations and legal staff were expected to complete filing of the deed and related closing steps following board approval; no additional public actions were scheduled in the transcript.
