3313.41

When a school district wishes to dispose of real property, it must first offer the property for sale to any start-up community school located within district boundaries at a price not greater than the appraised fair market value of the property. If more than one community school authority accepts the offer, the board must sell the property to the governing authority that first accepts the offer. The law requires school districts with real property that has been used for classroom operations since July 1, 1998, but has not been in use for two years, to offer to community schools located within the district an opportunity to buy or lease the property. If one community school notifies the district treasurer, in writing within 60 days after the district board makes the offer, of its intention to purchase the property, the district board must sell that property to the community school for the appraised fair market value of the property. However, if more than one community school notifies the district treasurer, in writing within the 60-day period, of their intention to purchase, the district board must conduct a public auction to sell the property. All community schools within the school district, regardless of whether they accepted the offer, may bid on the property at auction. The district board is not required to accept any bid for the property that is lower than the appraised fair market value of the property. If two or more community schools located within the district notify the district treasurer, in writing, of their intention to lease the property, the district board must conduct a lottery to select the community school to which the district board must lease the property. The lease price offered by a district board cannot be higher than the fair market value of the leasehold. If no community school governing authority accepts the offer to purchase or lease the property within 60 days after the offer is made, the district board may offer the property to any other entity. However, notwithstanding any of the above, when a school district board decides to dispose of its real property, it must first offer that property for sale to the governing authorities of high-performing community schools and newly established community schools with a community school model that has a track record of high quality academic performance, as determined by ODE, before offering it to all start-up community schools and any college preparatory boarding schools located in the district as required under current law. School district having property “not needed for school district use, is obsolete, or is unfit for the use for which it was acquired” may donate the property to a non-profit organization if the Board’s estimate of value is
