Austin Independent School District officials filed a lawsuit in an Austin court against North Austin residents who oppose the district’s plan to sell a former school site, seeking a ruling that affirms the district’s authority to dispose of the property as surplus.
Court records show the lawsuit names several nearby property owners and residents as defendants and identifies the site as a former Austin ISD campus in North Austin. The districtiling date was not specified in the district’s public materials.
In its filing, Austin ISD asks the court to confirm that the district complied with state law and district policy when it closed the campus and designated the property as excess real estate eligible for sale. The district also seeks clarification of property rights and the removal of any legal claims or restrictions that could delay or prevent a transfer of the land.
The lawsuit alleges that residents have taken or plan to take legal or administrative actions that could block the sale.
