What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

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.
