Plano ISD is exploring the sale process for two district-owned properties.

Trustees tabled a resolution declaring two properties surplus during the Oct. 6 meeting.

The overview: Declaring the properties surplus is the first step in the process for PISD to sell the properties, said Johnny Hill, deputy superintendent for business, employee services and technology.

The first property includes two suites inside the Pebble Creek Professional Building, which were initially acquired for $1.75 million in 2005, Hill said. The property was previously used as a child daycare center, but has been adapted to house district staff.

The second property is 9.96 acres located at the northeast corner of Coit Road and Frankford Road, which was purchased for nearly $5.21 million in 2015, per a staff presentation.

What's next: The board is expected to reconsider a resolution to declare the properties surplus at the Oct. 27 meeting after board President Lauren Tyra had questions about the location of the property near Coit and Frankford, which was different in the resolution than in the staff presentation.
