Introduced
by
To establish procedures for transferring the property of a school district that has become fiscally unviable to one or more nearby school districts. (A version of this bill was originally introduced after the Buena Vista and Inkster school districts reached this state and were dissolved in 2013.) Specifically, the bill specifies procedures for when the receiving district does not want the dissolved district’s buildings or land. The Intermediate School District would then have the right of first refusal, with other local government entities next in line. If none of them wanted the property it would be sold, with unpaid lenders of the dissolved district having first claim to the proceeds. The state would be responsible for any demolition costs.
Referred to the Committee on Education
