COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – The Branch Intermediate School District Board of Education approved the renewal of a lease on Wednesday with the Covenant Church which does business as TREES Church in Girard.
The renewal would be for two years through June of 2026. A three year lease was originally approved by the BISD Board in 2021.
Terms call for a monthly rent of just over $4,900.
This follows the approval by the BISD Board last month of a three year lease renewal with Bronson Community Schools for the use of four classrooms at the Chicago Street School. The new lease will run through June of 2027 and would cost the BISD just under $22,000 a year.
The lease with Bronson Schools can be extended by one year if both the BISD and Bronson Schools agree.
The leased premises at both locations maybe used by the BISD for educational purposes including Head Start and other early childhood programs.
Meanwhile, the Branch I.S.D. recognized nine retirees during Wednesday’s Board meeting. They are:
- Valencia Barrett (Special Education Para Professional
- Kattia Cabrera (Special Education Teacher)
