The Corsicana ISD Board of Trustees approved a resolution authorizing the superintendent to negotiate and execute a contract to buy roughly 12.977 acres at 3601 West State Highway 22, a parcel described as adjacent to the high school; the board voted to proceed and next steps call for contract negotiations.
The Corsicana Independent School District Board of Trustees voted to authorize the superintendent to negotiate and execute a contract to purchase approximately 12.977 acres at 3601 West State Highway 22 in Corsicana.
An unnamed district official told the board the parcel is adjacent to the district high school and would allow the district to move planned construction and connect to existing school property. “Weve had an awesome opportunity to potentially purchase a piece of property next to the high school on Highway 22 that would connect to our current property,” the presenter said.
Board members moved and seconded a resolution authorizing the superintendent to negotiate a purchase agreement; the chair conducted a voice vote and the motion passed. The speaker who presented the item noted the Appraisal District ID number for the property in the meeting record.
The resolution directs the superintendent to proceed with negotiations and to return to the board with a proposed contract for final approval. The motion did not include a publicly recorded dollar amount for the purchase in the provided transcript, and no final purchase price was stated.
Next steps are for district staff to negotiate terms and bring a contract back to the board for final approval or possible further action.
