School officials in Oregon have approved an intergovernmental agreement with the Oregon Park District in taking over the ownership of Blackhawk Center.
The proposal would have the Oregon school district own the facility as of September 1st of this year.
The school district currently uses the facility for fall and winter sports teams. Spring sports teams also practice at times in the building along with physical education classes during the day.
Oregon Superintendent Tom Mahoney said that there will be no changes in operations at Blackhawk Center.
The facility is currently connected to the high school by a corridor. The Oregon school district has payed a yearly rent of $168,000. That money would be used for salaries and maintenance.
Current repairs will be made by the park district before the ownership transfer is completed.
The board also approved an agreeement with OCEC for technology services at the Chana School along with their facility in Byron.
Oregon school officials approved the purchase of 2 buses at a cost of just under $149,000.
