The Houston Independent School District board on April 16 adopted resolutions authorizing the sale of six surplus properties following a closed-session discussion. Trustees reconvened at 9:22 p.m. and took a series of roll-call votes authorizing property transfers to private developers and nonprofit organizations.

Resolutions approved during open session after the closed meeting authorized sales of the following properties as identified in the motions: SB 25-02-03 Brookline Facility, 3901 Telephone Road, to Chetan Wen in partnership with family; SB 250204 Chatham Facility, 8110 Birtwood Street, to Houston Habitat for Humanity Inc. in partnership with Northeast Houston Redevelopment Council; SB 250211 Kirby and Orem acreage (0 W. Orem Drive) to Alliance Residential Company; SB 250212 North Forest Acres (0 Mesa Road) to 4 Windy Hill Investments, LLC; SB 250215 South Area Office, 4040 W. Fuquay Street, to Community of Faith Foundation Inc.; and SB 250217 Terrell Facility, 4610 E. Crosstimbers, to Houston Habitat for Humanity Inc. with Northeast Houston Redevelopment Council.

Board votes on the motions were recorded in open session. Several motions carried with one abstention; one sale (Chatham Facility) passed with one nay and one abstention. A board member stated on the record that they would abstain from real-estate transactions because they work in real estate to avoid any appearance of conflict. The board cited Chapter 551 of the Texas Government Code (Open Meetings Act) for the closed-session discussion prior to the votes.

Board members did not provide sale prices or detailed contractual terms in the open session. Trustees voted to authorize the vice president to complete the transactions as described in the adopted resolutions. The motions were approved by voice vote or standard roll-call at the meeting’s conclusion.

The board did not discuss implementation steps or timelines in public session; those details were not specified in the materials presented during the meeting and may appear in subsequent staff reports or contract documents.
