In a widely publicized dispute, William O'Hara refused to sell his land in Willamette County to the local school board. O'Hara believed that the price the school board offered for the land was not sufficient. If the school board wanted to pursue the matter in court, what proceeding would it institute to attempt to force O'Hara to sell the land?

Condemnation

Explanation:

The school board would institute condemnation if they attempt to follow it up. Condemnation can be defined as seizing people's private properties by the government for the public to use. Such an owner must be compensated though.

From the question since William has refused to sell due to price differences, this principal could take the case to court after all the property was to be used for public use and the court would institute condemnation.
