The Hillsboro School Board approved a $2.25 million land purchase of 40 acres in the South Hillsboro development area.
In February, the Oregon legislature approved House Bill 4078,
which expanded the urban growth boundary and established new urban and
rural reserves in Washington County. For Hillsboro schools, that means
new property in South Hillsboro, South Cooper Mountain and Cornelius.
The district expects South Hillsboro to eventually include more than 10,000 new housing units, resulting in 3,200 new students.
Ed Hayden, the district's realtor, had searched 11 years for an
adequate property in the area on which to build a high school. The
current landowners agreed to finance the purchase under a four-year
contract.
The address of the new property is 22520 S.W. Rosedale Road.
