**A: is the school board part of a municipality such as county, city or state or is this some private school entity? And why would any school need 80 acres? What are they planning on doing with the land?

Ok, then they can indeed force you to sell by using the power of eminent domain to condemn your property for public use and paying you just compensation.
You may wish to hire an attorney to negotiate with them. Make sure you get a high appraisal.
