School District Solar Garden Lease Term

Current law limits to 10 years the length a school district can lease district property not needed for its purposes. The bill allows a school district to lease district property for any term of years for purposes of a solar field, energy storage system, or affordable housing. If a board of education of a school district leases or rents property for the purposes of an affordable housing project, the board of education shall develop a policy that defines affordable housing for the project.
