Schools may sue if Elliott isn’t sold By CLAIRE WITHYCOMBE Capital Bureau SALEM — Lawyers for the Oregon School Boards Association say school dis- tricts plan to sue the state Land Board if it doesn’t pro- ceed with a full-value sale of a swath of coastal forest to either a private buyer or the state. Some 82,500 acres of the Elliott State Forest in Coos and Douglas counties are up for sale, a contentious pro- posal that has rallied the state’s environmental groups. The land is constitution- ally required to generate rev- enue for the Common School Fund, which is essentially an endowment for public K-12 education. The land is supposed to generate revenue for the fund, but the forest has become more of a fi nancial liability of late because of declining tim- ber harvests. The Land Board — comprised of the gover- nor, state treasurer and sec- retary of state — is basically a trustee for the benefi ciaries of the fund, the state’s public schools.
