Royal ISD approves purchase of about 140 acres for future campuses
Summary
After executive session, trustees approved buying approximately 140 acres along FM 362 in Waller County for district facilities and authorized the superintendent to finalize sale documents; the motion passed 4-1 with Trustee Elton Foster voting no.
The Royal Independent School District board approved on Aug. 11 the purchase of approximately 140 acres located along FM 362 (south of FM 529 and north of future Morton Road) in Waller County for district facilities.
The motion to authorize the purchase and to empower the superintendent or designee to negotiate and execute the sale and related documents passed 4-1. Trustee Cori Vahalik moved the action; Trustee Traci Seward seconded. Trustee Elton Foster voted Nay. The board’s approval authorizes customary feasibility periods and any ancillary documents needed to close the transaction.
Why it matters: acquiring roughly 140 acres provides land for future campus construction tied to the district’s long-range facilities planning and the bond discussion earlier in the meeting. The minutes do not include purchase price or closing timeline; the board authorized the superintendent to negotiate final terms.
Next steps: the superintendent or designee will negotiate final sale and purchase agreements and return documents as required for closing.
