Sale, Lease, Rental Of District-Owned Real Property

The Board of Education shall dispose of district property whenever it is apparent the district will have no further use for it. If property currently unused will be needed at some future time, the Board may lease it to a governmental or private agency or individual. (Education Code 17453, 17455-17484)

When required by law, the Board shall appoint a district advisory committee to advise the Board in the development of policies and procedures governing the use or disposition of schools or school building space which is not needed for school purposes. (Education Code 17388)

Before offering to sell or lease surplus real property to any other parties, the district may offer it to designated child care providers for child care and development purposes.

The sale, lease or rental of district property for child care purposes shall be especially encouraged for programs that are properly licensed, provide adequate insurance coverage, are financially self-supporting and maintain a safe environment through good management and supervision.

(cf. 5148 - Child Care and Development)

When surplus property is not sold or leased to child care providers, the Board shall offer to sell or lease it, with an option to buy, in accordance with the priorities set forth in Education Code 17464 and 17230 and in Government Code 54222.

Any lease or sale made by the Board will conform in all particulars to the provisions of law.
