Let's see. Part of the reasoning behind building the new school, was to use monies to pay for capital improvements which to date has been zilch for said project or any other. Almost half a million is gone out of pocket to heirs (which would not have had to been paid out if the property was retained as a school) for 1 acre in Kent? We've had 9 years to either maintain the property at some unknown cost, while it lays dormant, or up to 9 yrs of neglect devaluing any worth of the buildings. The KSD is facing a financial budget crisis as I understand from other Kent Reporter articles. A two term board member is resigning because he hasn't the time to devote to his role but does have the time to run for city council. Am I the only one who thinks there's something wrong  with this picture? Reading between the lines of "taking off the market", there's no good option available right now unless the school board plans to give the property away to the developer at a much lower cost - cui bono?
