In order to economize in the acquisition of land and to promote a realistic long range building program, the Superintendent of Schools shall be responsible for an ongoing assessment of housing development trends and population growth patterns. The availability of suitable school sites within the boundaries of the school district shall be monitored at all times, with the objective of acquiring needed sites sufficiently in advance of projected building construction plans.
School sites are to be selected so as to ensure that schools are reasonably accessible to the population they serve. The sites must be free from safety hazards and noxious odors and have adequate useable acreage to accommodate all school activities comfortably.
The acquisition of a site selected by the Board must receive voter’s approval before it may be purchased.
