The proposed bill would amend existing statutes related to school district governing boards by introducing several prohibitions regarding the purchase and lease of school sites and buildings. Specifically, it would insert language stating that a school district governing board may not purchase any school site, enter into lease-purchase agreements, or enter into option agreements if a charter school or private school is operating at that site. This prohibition applies to various types of agreements and purchases, including those made for career and technical education (CTE) purposes.
Additionally, the bill would clarify that any authorization for a governing board to purchase school sites or buildings does not permit such purchases if a charter or private school operates at the site. The bill also includes technical and conforming changes to ensure consistency with the new prohibitions. Overall, these updates aim to restrict school districts from acquiring properties that are already in use by charter or private educational institutions.
