Beaumont ISD trustees on Thursday approved the sale of $2.84 million in district-owned real estate following a bidding process.
The nine properties involved total more than 100 acres and include the long-shuttered Price Elementary School and the site of the since-demolished Tyrrell Park Elementary.
A 15.25-acre tract on Major Drive drew the highest bid, for $1.35 million. The largest plot of land, 62.52 acres in Lumberton, drew a $66,786.11 bid.
In another matter, associate superintendent of secondary schools Shannon Allen told board members that the Texas Education Agency intends to wait until after the May 4 municipal elections to appoint a new superintendent to replace John Frossard.
