SCHOOLS: Requests that local public school boards and charter school governing authorities develop and implement strategic plans for the disposition and security of school buildings and property in the event of school closures
HR 346 is a resolution requesting local public school boards and charter school authorities to develop strategic plans for managing vacant school buildings and property after closures. It requires these entities to submit written reports to the state Department of Education by September 30, 2025, detailing currently vacant campuses and those expected to close by 2025-2026, followed by updates on security and disposal plans by December 31, 2025. The state Department of Education must then compile these reports, disaggregated by district, and submit them to the House Education Committee by March 1, 2026. This resolution does not create new legal requirements but establishes reporting deadlines for transparency about school facility management.
