Bill would have state treat charter schools as governments for land transactions
Senate Bill 42, if passed, would allow county school districts to give buildings to charter schools for less than fair-market value.
Posted — UpdatedSen. Warren Daniel, R-Burke, told committee members the bill was inspired by a situation in his district in which a county and a charter school had reached agreement to transfer a building.
"But they realized there was nothing in statute that allowed a governmental entity to transfer a property to a charter school for less than full consideration," Daniel said.
There was no objection to the bill expressed in committee, and it passed on a unanimous voice vote. It next goes to the full Senate.
