Plano ISD approves sale of mineral interests for three surplus campuses to City of Plano
Summary
The Plano ISD Board voted unanimously Dec. 9 to include minerals and mineral interests (if any) in the sale of three surplus properties—Armstrong Middle, Davis Elementary and Foreman Elementary—to the City of Plano, delegating deed execution to the board president once contract terms are met.
The Plano Independent School District Board of Trustees on Dec. 9 approved a resolution authorizing sale of any minerals and mineral interests associated with three previously declared surplus properties—Armstrong Middle School (3805 Timberline Drive), Davis Elementary (2701 Park Haven Drive) and Foreman Elementary (3600 Timberline Drive)—to the City of Plano.
Johnny Hill, deputy superintendent for business, recapped prior board actions and said the district had talked with city officials and real-estate appraisers and now recommends including mineral rights, “if any,” along with the surface sale. The board’s motion to approve the resolution was made by Board Vice President Nancy Humphrey and seconded by Board Secretary Tara Lance; President Lauren Tyra called for a voice/hand vote and the measure passed unanimously, seven in favor and none opposed.
The written resolution read aloud by the board secretary cites Texas Education Code section 11.153 as the legal authority permitting the board to sell minerals. It states that the deeds and contract documents for the property sale “will not reserve the minerals or mineral interest to the district,” and it authorizes the board president to execute deeds if contract terms are satisfied.
Board members did not request additional amendments before the vote. The resolution also ratifies earlier board findings that the properties were declared surplus after the 2024–25 school year and that the sale of the surface was previously authorized on June 24, 2025.
Next steps: district administration and the superintendent are authorized to take actions to finalize the sale and execute contracts and deeds consistent with the resolution. The board did not set or disclose sale price details in the public reading of the resolution.
Quote: “What we are requesting now after having multiple conversations with the City Administration as well as our own real estate appraisers that we go back and we include all the mineral and the mineral interest along with the sale of those properties,” Johnny Hill told the board during his presentation.
