Failed·3/3/26

Mississippi SB2515 revises provisions for repurposing closed public school properties.

Mississippi SB2515 amends the state code to limit the right of first refusal for charter schools to purchase or lease closed public school properties to twelve months. It also allows school boards to approve alternative uses for school properties, provided the properties are not needed for school purposes. If the property ceases to be used for its original or approved alternative purpose, title reverts to the school district. The bill further authorizes the sale of unused school properties through public auction, with certain conditions.
