Trustees approved an offer to purchase a tax-foreclosed property (described in discussion as Abstract 68 Tract 39, ~4.34 acres). A bid of $16,800 attributed to James Dean Darden was discussed; trustees agreed to approve the offer and noted Polk County commissioner review will also be required.

The board considered an offer to purchase a tax-foreclosed parcel described during the meeting as Abstract 68 Tract 39, approximately 4.34 acres near a district driveway. The superintendent asked Austin (district staff) to describe the parcel and said the board could consider acquiring it to return it to the tax roll.

Board members discussed the bid amount and the need for Polk County commissioners to sign off on a split of proceeds. A referenced bid of $16,800 (James Dean Darden) appeared in the meeting materials and was mentioned aloud. Trustee moved to approve the offer to purchase and the motion carried.

No formal appraisal or purchase closing timeline was recorded during the meeting; the board directed staff to coordinate with county officials and return with any county-level actions required to complete the transaction.
