The Marshall Public Schools Board of Education is exploring the possibility of renting out a house located on the district's Northeast Campus near the Marshall Intermediate School. Superintendent Caleb Petet reported that renting the "Four Square House" could generate between $1,300 and $2,000 per month in revenue, which could help pay off recent work completed by the district's building trades program over the next 3-5 years.

Why it matters

Generating additional revenue through property rentals could help the school district offset costs and reinvest in its facilities. Having a resident on the property could also provide extra security and oversight of the district's campus during evenings and summer months.

The details

The Marshall Public Schools Board of Education gave first reading to the rental proposal during their meeting on February 10th. Superintendent Petet noted that the district would consider hiring a property management firm to handle the rental if they move forward with the plan.

• The Board of Education discussed the rental proposal during their meeting on February 10, 2026.
• If approved, the rental income could help pay off recent facility upgrades over the next 3-5 years.

What’s next

The Board of Education will need to give final approval to the rental proposal before the district can move forward with finding a tenant and managing the property.
