Not a lot of details on this cut and paste from a CH 13 story, but interesting.

The second resolution allows the administration to negotiate with the state to buy the Scott Park property on Nebraska that houses Toledo Early College. If the initiative goes through, the district said it would expand the district’s partnership with the University of Toledo.

“Our plans for the property will focus on creating an educator academy, expanding athletic programs, offering new college credit plus options and other supports to prepare our students to become college and career-ready graduates,” said Jim Gault, Chief of Educational Development for TPS.

This is what happens in Toledo sadly. One Government agency comes in and does a shell game with taxpayer money.

Surprised the Port Authority is not laundering some money with this deal too. Its early.

A Habitat for Humanity partnership to just put some infill housing in and offer trades training would probably be the best use for the site

Posted mainly because UT baseball and softball fields are involved.

TPS needs stay in its lane. It barely has use for the fields and facilities they have, let alone able to maintain them. Leaders are being a shill for the private schools, bet.

They keep expanding as student population continues to decrease, and public gets wind of it. Next levy is toast. They know this. I'd bet, the goal is to spend the surpluses now, develop the properties on the government money, then "lose" the properties to those able to profit or benefit from them.

If there is need for those athletic properties by the wider public, this should be in City or County. Not school board, the least skilled by far of the three government entities.
