PassedNashville Public Schools would lease about 35,700 square feet of the former Lillard Elementary School building at 3200 Kings Lane to the PENCIL Foundation for a 10-year term beginning July 2027, with options to extend up to 30 more years. Annual rent starts at roughly $324,000 and rises 3% each year, but PENCIL can offset the full rent by providing in-kind support to MNPS schools, such as distributing school supplies, recruiting volunteers, or sponsoring grants. MNPS covers capital repairs and utilities, while PENCIL handles day-to-day maintenance and custodial services.
