SITE ACQUISITION PROCEDURE

The Board of Education will discharge its legal responsibility to acquire necessary school sites by the following method:

  2. It shall consult, through the Superintendent, with other public agencies whose activities bear on education or community development.  
  3. Upon the recommendation of the Superintendent, it shall establish a priority calendar for the acquisition of the various sites needed.
  4. It may require appraisal reports of the value of the property based upon comparable sales in the area, including recommendations as to necessary Board action.  
  5. It shall authorize options to be taken on priorities, based upon the appraisal reports and the recommendations of the Superintendent.
  6. It may take further action as necessary to institute eminent domain proceedings to effect the satisfactory acquisition of property for school purposes.  Such action will be taken only after reasonable negotiations fail.
