1971 SESSION

 

 

CHAPTER 692

HOUSE BILL 1208

 

AN ACT AUTHORIZING THE PITT COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION TO LEASE SCHOOL PROPERTY NO LONGER NEEDED FOR SCHOOL PURPOSES FOR A PERIOD IN EXCESS OF ONE YEAR.

 

Whereas, it is to the best interest of the Pitt County Board of Education for unneeded school property to be leased for a period in excess of one year to promote the growth and economic development of the County and to improve the economic and social welfare of its citizens and to promote community service; and

Whereas, G.S. 115-126 limits the period of time that the Board of Education can lease school property to one year and it is impractical for the Board of Education to enter into a lease for such a limited period of time and it is also impractical and impossible to use said property for community, industrial or commercial purposes for such a limited period of time; Now, therefore,

 

The General Assembly of North Carolina do enact:

 

Section 1.  Notwithstanding the provisions of G.S. 115-126, the Pitt County Board of Education is hereby authorized, when the use of any school property is unnecessary for public school purposes and the sale of such property is not practicable, in its discretion to enter into an agreement or lease with any other person, firm, or corporation for whatever period of time and under such terms as the Board of Education considers necessary.

Sec. 2.  All laws and clauses of laws in conflict with this act are hereby repealed.

Sec. 3.  This act shall be in full force and effect from and after its ratification.

In the General Assembly read three times and ratified, this the 28th day of June, 1971.
