Senate File 2368
On May 17, 2024, Governor Reynolds signed Senate File 2368 into law. The law requires school districts to publish information about all school buildings on the school district's website. The law also imposes new requirements related to district-owned real estate, including that school districts cannot prohibit the sale of real estate to an educational institution and, when offering school building properties for sale, school districts must accept a bid from an educational institution, if the educational institution had the highest bid.
Beginning on July 1, every school district must publish the following information on its website:
- The square footage of each school building owned by the school district.
