New Caney ISD approves purchase of about 17 acres in Montgomery County for future campus
Summary
The New Caney ISD Board of Trustees authorized the purchase of approximately 17 acres in Montgomery County for a future campus or district facilities and delegated authority to the superintendent to negotiate and execute transaction documents.
The New Caney Independent School District Board of Trustees voted on Jan. 23, 2025 to approve the purchase of roughly 17 acres of real property in Montgomery County for a future campus or other district facilities.
A trustee moved to approve the acquisition and to delegate authority to the superintendent or his designee to negotiate, finalize and execute all documents related to the purchase, stating that details had been discussed during the board’s closed session earlier in the meeting.
The motion, as stated in open session, read: “I move to approve the purchase of approximately 17 acres of real estate property located in Montgomery County, Texas and delegate authority to the superintendent or his designee to negotiate, finalize, and execute all documents related thereto as more fully discussed in closed session tonight.” The board recorded a motion, a second, and a voice vote; the meeting transcript does not show an itemized roll-call tally.
The board did not specify the parcel’s exact address, purchase price, or funding source during the open meeting. The item followed a closed-session discussion that the board said addressed land-development and real estate issues under the Texas Open Meetings Act. The motion delegates negotiation and execution authority to the superintendent, but the district did not list any deadlines or conditions for closing in the open record.
Board members adjourned after recording the vote. Any further details about the property, price, or timeline were not provided in the public portion of the meeting.
