Summary
Trustees approved a resolution authorizing the superintendent or designee to negotiate and execute documents to transfer a 0.6442‑acre tract adjacent to Sam Rayburn Middle School to the Texas Department of Transportation for an IH‑410 expansion; the board instructed staff to seek protections for continued school visibility and possible signage.
The Northside Board of Trustees adopted a resolution July 22 that authorizes the superintendent or a designee to negotiate terms and execute documents conveying a 0.6442‑acre tract adjacent to Sam Rayburn Middle School to the State of Texas for use in an IH‑410 expansion. The resolution directs district leadership to finalize details and execute a deed to the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) and gives the board president authority to sign conveyance documents after negotiations are complete. During discussion trustees asked TxDOT representatives to consider site visibility and options for school signage or other ways to preserve public recognition of Sam Rayburn Middle School during and after construction. Why it matters: The conveyance will transfer a small portion of district land on the IH‑410 frontage to the state for right‑of‑way expansion. The district will negotiate the terms of the transfer and any related accommodations for the school property. Details: The resolution specifies a 0.6442‑acre tract (described in county records) and directs staff to negotiate acceptable terms consistent with district requirements. Trustees also discussed whether signage or a marquee could remain visible to passing traffic and asked TxDOT to check regulations regarding sign placement in the new right‑of‑way. Outcome: After a motion to adopt the resolution, trustees voted in favor and passed the resolution. Staff will return executed documents as they are finalized.
