Relates to the powers of boards of education to temporarily lease necessary space
This bill expands school districts' authority to temporarily lease space not on school property when facilities are overcrowded, damaged, or under construction. It directly affects local school boards of education by allowing them to secure temporary locations for students during these circumstances. The key change adds "under construction" to the existing list of valid reasons for leasing, while requiring annual approval from the state education commissioner for each lease. The bill takes effect on July 1 following its enactment.
