§ 16341 School Site Disposal Rules

This law says that if a school district gets state money to buy land that already has buildings, the board can tell the district to get rid of those buildings, and any money the district makes later from selling or leasing the land must include a share that goes back to the state.

Key Takeaways

  • •The board can require the district to remove any existing buildings on land bought with state money.
  • •When the district sells, leases, or otherwise disposes of that land or its improvements, it must give back part of the money it receives.
  • •The amount to give back is based on how much of the project the state paid for.

Example

A school district receives $1 million from the state to buy a plot that has an old school building on it.

The board can order the district to tear down or otherwise remove the old building. Later, if the district sells the land for $2 million, it must give the state a portion of the sale money that matches the state’s original share of the project (for example, if the state paid 50%, the district would send back $1 million).
