SB85,1,2
1An Act to renumber and amend 120.10 (12) of the statutes;
relating to: the
2sale of common or union high school district property.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, school districts are classified as common, union high,
unified, and first class city school districts. Current law requires a common and
union high school district to hold an annual meeting, at which every elector of the
school district is eligible to vote. Certain powers may be exercised at the annual
meeting, one of which is the power to authorize the sale of school district property
that is no longer needed by the school district. Under the bill, the school board of a
common or union high school district has the power to sell school district property
that is no longer needed by the school district without authorization from an annual
meeting.
For further information see the local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
