District sued by landowners for alleged elder abuse

A Brentwood-area man is suing Liberty Union High School District, claiming his elderly sister has suffered financial and emotional abuse because the district is trying to take their family's property without proper compensation to build another high school.
The lawsuit involves 38 acres of farmland near the intersection of Sellers Avenue and Delta Road, the site where the school district plans to put a fourth high school.
The allegations of elder abuse are the latest wrinkle in a dispute that's dragged on for more than two years as the two parties wrangle over the property's value.
John Geddes and his 71-year-old sister, Jerilee Geddes Apo, had the parcels in an unincorporated area of the county appraised at $13 million, a figure based on the likelihood that the city of Brentwood eventually will annex the land and develop it for industrial use.
