OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — An Omaha retired couple is resisting efforts by the school district to buy their home and the home they own next door.

The district wants Pam and Ernie Jackson’s land and 10 other properties as part of its plans for a new high school.

The Jacksons have lived in their home for 20 years. They have retained an attorney and posted “OPS, Hands Off Our Home” signs in their front lawn. They want the district to conduct a feasibility or traffic study to determine if buying their land is necessary.

District officials met with nearby homeowners last month to discuss the project, land negotiations and the possibility of eminent domain. The 10 other properties are a mix of residential and commercial sites.
