Solano County Office of Education’s 7-11 Advisory Committee will be holding its next public hearing on Monday, July 23 to discuss the future of the Gomer School.

According to a press release, the 7-11 Advisory Committee is part of the California Education Code 17387 that requires educational agencies to accept public input to discuss and determine the “best possible judgment about the use of excess school property.” Additional state requirements include the committee be comprised of at least seven, but no more than 11 members; hence the name “7-11.”

The following is a list of options the committee will be considering as stated in their press release:

1. Pursue either sale or lease of the Property at its fair market value to “an incorporated nonprofit tax-exempt community or civic organization with a membership comprised predominantly of persons residing in the community in which the building and site are situated” pursuant to the historical property exception of Education Code § 17482. If not sold or leased pursuant to this exception, pursue either sale or lease of the Property in AS-IS condition pursuant to California law in order to generate the Property’s highest and best value, at the appropriate time as determined by the Board.
