FAIRFIELD — Century old Gomer School in Suisun Valley is surplus property and will go up for sale or lease.
The Solano County Board of Education made the decision Wednesday. It also directed county Office of Education staff to return at a future meeting with more information on how the sale or lease of the half-acre Gomer School property might be handled.
“We want to be really sure people understand we’re not going to put it on the market and sell it tomorrow,” Associate Superintendent Lettie Allen said.
At stake is the future of the 1900 one-room schoolhouse with the bell tower that has become a local landmark along Abernathy Road. The Solano County Office of Education has offices in buildings adjacent to the vacant schoolhouse, but is moving them to another location.
