Question:
Please provide a list of school properties and which entity owns the property. (Councilwoman Jackson)
Response:
According to the City’s Office of Real Estate Assessments, below is the list of stated ownership of each ACPS school site:
| School Site | Owner |
| Charles Barrett Elementary | School Board |
| Cora Kelly Elementary | City |
| Douglas Macarthur Elementary | City |
| Ferdinand T. Day Elementary | School Board |
| Francis Hammond Middle | City |
| George Mason Elementary | City |
| George Washington Middle | City |
| James K Polk Elementary | City |
| Jefferson Houston (K-8) | City |
| John Adams Elementary | City |
| Lyles Crouch Elementary | City |
| Matthew Maury Elementary | City |
| Mt. Vernon Elementary | City |
| Patrick Henry (K-8) | City |
| Samuel Tucker Elementary | School Board |
| T.C. Williams High – King Street Campus | City |
| T.C. Williams High – Minnie Howard Campus | City |
| William Ramsay Elementary | City |
Ownership of school properties per the Office of Real Estate Assessment may differ from how the ownership of properties are characterized in City financial statements, like the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR). The Virginia Code requires that school assets to be recorded in the City’s financial statements while the bonds used to pay for these assets are still outstanding. The assets will transfer to the Alexandria School Board’s financial statements when the bonds are repaid. While the assets may be listed under either the ownership of the City or the School Board, nothing in the state code alters the authority or responsibility of the local school board or control of the assets.
