BILL NUMBER:S7757
Title of bill
An act extending the provision which authorizes Pawling central school district to lease lands not located within such school district
Purpose
To allow the Pawling Central School District to lease land located outside of the school district.
Summary of provisions
Section 1 authorizes the Pawling Central School District to enter into a lease agreement for a term of 5 years for a building or facility located outside of the school district, providing the facility is located one-half mile outside of the school district boundary on old Route 55 in the Town of Pawling.
Justification
The Pawling Central School District is in need of a new bus maintenance facility as the New York State Department of Transportation has cited their current facility twice for unsafe conditions. The school board has submitted a bond proposal to construct a new facility to district voters three times, and it has been voted down each time. It has been determined that it would not be cost effective to attempt to renovate the current facility. The school district has located property available for lease for a new bus facility; however, it is located outside of the Pawling Central School District. The Board of Education has attempted to work out an arrangement with the neighboring school district to no avail; therefore, the school district is in need of special legislation.
