SB 1273 Missouri Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Establishes provisions relating to school property

SB 1273 prevents local governments from blocking charter schools from using properties for education by banning restrictions that prohibit such use. It requires school districts to offer unused school buildings to public entities (like other schools or government agencies) first, with a 60-day notice period and fair market pricing determined through mediation. The bill defines "unused facilities" as buildings not used for education within two years of a school board-approved plan. This directly affects charter schools, school districts, and public entities by changing how empty school properties can be sold or leased.
