KEYSTONE HEIGHTS— The Clay County School board is set to sell four portable classrooms at Keystone Heights Elementary School to a Jacksonville-based Assemblies of God Church.
The purchase agreement between the district and Freedom Christian Fellowship is on the agenda for the June 1 school board meeting in Fleming Island.
During a May 24 workshop with school board members, Superintendent David Broskie said the construction of new classrooms at the Southwest Pecan Street campus made the portable classrooms surplus material.
Broskie added that the district has already replaced portable classrooms at two other district schools.
“And now we are reducing portables at Keystone, and it costs $40,000 to move (them),” he said.
Under the terms of the proposed contract, the church is paying $10 a piece for the buildings and is responsible for removing the portables from the campus by June 30.
Freedom Christian Fellowship has two campuses, one in Jacksonville and another in St. Augustine.
Two more portable classrooms remain for sale at the elementary school.
