Wenatchee School Board declares Valley Academy site surplus

The Wenatchee School Board has cleared the way for new uses of the former Valley Academy of Learning site on North Wenatchee Avenue by declaring the property surplus.

Valley Academy, which offers flexible part- and full-time learning options for families, relocated over the summer to the former Columbia Elementary School campus to accommodate growing enrollment. That site now also houses the Wenatchee Valley Community Transitions Program, which helps students with disabilities ages 18 to 22 build life and job skills.

Although the old building is currently being used for short-term storage, district officials say it’s no longer needed for educational purposes. With the surplus designation, the property can now be considered for lease or sale. 

Any negotiations for the site would take place in closed session with the school board, according to district communications director Diana Haglund.
