The land—purchased for roughly $880,000—will be used for a new elementary campus.
"We are still in the contract negotiation phase," said Kevin Lynch, SISD assistant superintendent of business and operations.
Construction on the new campus could begin as early as May 2018 with a projected move-in date of July 2019.
The land purchase and construction of the new campus, expected to cost $25 million, is being funded by a $30 million bond.
The new campus will have a capacity of 850 students, though it will likely only have around 500 students when it opens.
