Board authorizes attorney to negotiate land deal for junior high site
Summary
After a closed session on litigation and land matters, the Tuloso-Midway ISD Board voted to authorize its attorney to negotiate a purchase agreement for a junior high school site on McKinzie. The motion passed 6–0; Trustee Paul Arriaga left the meeting shortly after the vote.
The Tuloso-Midway Independent School District Board of Trustees voted to authorize the district's attorney to negotiate a land price and agreement for construction of a junior high school on McKinzie. The action followed a closed-session consultation with legal counsel and passed on a 6–0 recorded vote.
District administration presented the recommendation that counsel be authorized to negotiate terms for acquisition. "It is the Administration's recommendation to authorize our attorney to negotiate a land price and agreement for the Junior High School Construction on McKinzie," the minutes state. The vote record shows unanimous support from the trustees present; Trustee Paul Arriaga left the meeting at 7:45 p.m.
The motion was procedural and did not commit the District to a final purchase price; board members did not adopt a purchase agreement in open session. The minutes do not specify a target price, closing timeline, or the seller's name beyond the litigation reference to Braman Ranches, LLC; the closed-session citation was Tuloso-Midway Independent School District vs. Braman Ranches, LLC, Cause No. 2025CCV-61362-4 (Nueces County County Court at Law No. 4). The administration recorded the action as direction to negotiate, not as a contract approval.
The next procedural step identified in the minutes is negotiation by counsel, with any future agreement expected to return to the Board for approval in open session.
