School District Unimproved Real Property

The requirement to publish the statewide report online was changed from an annual schedule to a triennial schedule (every 3 years), with the first report due by December 1, 2026.

The deadline for school districts to submit their inventory was changed from a fixed date to a flexible date established annually by the Department of Education.

The list of recipients for the annual report was modified to remove the Speaker of the House of Representatives.

The definition of 'District' was updated to explicitly state it means 'each school district as defined in s. 1001.30'.

Minor formatting and phrasing adjustments were made throughout the text to align with standard legislative drafting conventions.

Removed the requirement that school districts must have a construction agreement with a developer or contractor by July 1, 2027, and the mandate to offer vacant land to charter school operators before other parties.

Added a requirement for each school district to annually submit a detailed inventory of all unimproved real property (land without buildings) to the Department of Education by June 30.

Added requirements for the Department of Education to compile these inventories into a statewide report, publish it online by December 1, and distribute copies to the Governor and Legislature.

Removed the specific timeline requiring school districts to award vacant land to the charter school operator with the most advantageous proposal within 60 days.

Changed the definition of 'vacant land' to a general term 'unimproved real property' that applies to any land owned by a district without vertical improvements, removing the specific criteria regarding enrollment decreases.

Added enforcement provisions stating that school districts failing to submit the required inventory are subject to oversight enforcement authority.
