§ 1048 County School Property Leases

This law says that when a county education board rents out school property and makes the renter build a school building, they must follow the same rules that a regular school district board has to follow.

Key Takeaways

  • •Applies to leases of school property that require the renter to build a school building.
  • •County boards, county offices of education, and county superintendents must follow the same rules as a school district governing board.
  • •The required rules are found in Sections 17406, 17407, and 17407.5.

Example

A county board of education leases a vacant lot owned by the school district to a construction company and says the company must build a new middle school on that lot.

Because the lease requires the renter to construct a school building, the county board has to use the same procedures (like public hearings, approvals, and reporting) that a school district board would use under the other education statutes.
