FAIRFIELD — A Solano County Office of Education advisory committee has concluded that the best fate for the historic Gomer School would be to see it sold or leased to a local nonprofit group.
With the Solano Land Trust showing interest in the half-acre site on Abernathy Road in Suisun Valley, that’s a possibility.
The Office of Education owns the Gomer School site, which includes the 112-year-old, now-vacant one-room schoolhouse, plus some additional, newer buildings. It plans to move the offices it keeps in the newer buildings to the Golden Hills Educational Center and could declare the Gomer School site as surplus property.
An advisory committee for the Gomer School disposition met in the Office of Education headquarters on Business Center Drive Monday. It decided that selling or leasing the property at market value in as-is condition to a nonprofit group should be the top priority. That recommendation will go to the Board of Education at a future date.
