No. 1116


Introduced by Senator Moorlach

February 19, 2020


An act to amend Section 17391 of the Education Code, relating to school districts.


LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


SB 1116, as amended, Moorlach. School districts: sale of property. sale, lease, or rental of excess real property: advisory committees.
Existing law requires the governing board of a school district, before the sale, lease, or rental of excess real property, except rentals not exceeding 30 days, to appoint an advisory committee to advise the governing board in the development of districtwide policies and procedures governing the use or disposition of school buildings or space in school buildings that is not needed for school purposes. Notwithstanding that law, existing law authorizes the governing board of a school district to elect not to appoint an advisory committee in specified circumstances.
This bill would also authorize the governing board of a school district to elect not to appoint an advisory committee if the school district sells a nonschool site, as defined, leases real property for a period that does not exceed 5 years if the school district will have declining enrollment over the term of the lease, or exchanges real property.

Existing law authorizes the governing board of a school district to sell or lease for a term not exceeding 99 years any real property belonging to the school district that is not or will not be needed for school classroom buildings at the time of delivery of title or possession.

This bill would express the intent of the Legislature to enact legislation that would reform the process by which school districts may sell property.
