Belen board approves Family School lease

May 11, 2010

The Belen Consolidated Schools Board of Education tonight unanimously approved a new lease agreement that will allow the district’s Family School to remain in Rio Communities for the 2010-2011 school year.

The lease is for $625 a month, which Superintendent Patricia Rael described as “greatly reduced” from more than $2,800 a month this school year.

The district is essentially using the Valley Community Plaza space rent-free, but is covering the cost of utilities, insurance and taxes.

The district had considered moving the Family School to Becker Avenue in Belen.
