District sells land for less than it paid

Financial

What happened

The board approved selling property at 5353 E. US Hwy 83 for $1.4M, with one vote against. Staff said the district had paid $1.75M. The board also started the sale process for about 100 acres north of La Union Elementary.

Why it matters to families

The sale returns money but locks in a loss of about $350,000. Selling the large tract would shape where the district can build later.

The evidence

At the September 30, 2026 special meeting, trustees debated the offers and the original purchase, then approved both items. Evidence comes from the district's auto-generated YouTube captions, which can garble names and numbers.
