The board of education may accept any gift or grant of land with or without improvement, and of money or other personal property, without additional authorization or authority, and may:
a. Expend any such money or use any such personal property, without any additional authorization or authority, in the equipment of any building for school purposes; or
b. Expend such moneys in the construction of a building for school purposes, or addition thereto, and the equipment thereof but only if such expenditure and the expenditures of any additional moneys required to be expended in connection with such construction shall be authorized in the manner prescribed by law for the construction of buildings for school purposes or additions thereto.
18A:20-4.1. Type II districts; acquisition of property without authorization of voters
The board of education of any Type II school district may without authority first obtained from the voters of the district:
(a) Rent, on a year-to-year basis, or for a term not to exceed 5 years, in case of emergency, buildings to use for school purposes; and
(b) Take an option not to exceed 1 year in duration, at a cost not to exceed the fair market value of such option, on the purchase of any land which the board could lawfully purchase after securing the consent of the legal voters to the purchase thereof, but such option may be exercised by the board only after authority to purchase the property covered by such option has been given at an annual or special school election.
Amended L.1968, c. 161, s. 1, eff. July 16, 1968; L.1971, c. 300, s. 1, eff. Aug. 27, 1971.
18A:20-4.2. Powers of boards concerning real property
18A:20-4.2. The board of education of any school district may, for school purposes:
(a) Purchase, take and condemn lands within the district and lands not exceeding 50 acres in extent without the district but situate in a municipality or municipalities adjoining the district, but no more than 25 acres may be so acquired in any one such municipality, without the district, except with the consent, by ordinance, of such municipality;
(b) Grade, drain and landscape lands owned or to be acquired by it and improve the same in like manner;
(c) Erect, lease for a term not exceeding 50 years, enlarge, improve, repair or furnish buildings;
(d) Borrow money therefor, with or without mortgage; in the case of a type II district without a board of school estimate, when authorized so to do at any annual or special school election; and in the case of a type II district having a board of school estimate, when the amount necessary to be provided therefor shall have been fixed, determined and certified by the board of school estimate; and in the case of a type I district, when an ordinance authorizing expenditures for such purpose is finally adopted by the governing body of a municipality comprised within the district; provided, however, that no such election shall be held nor shall any such resolution of a school estimate board or ordinance of a municipal governing body be introduced to authorize any lease of any building for a term exceeding one year, until the proposed terms of such lease have been reviewed and approved by the Commissioner of Education and the Local Finance Board in the Department of Community Affairs;
(e) Construct, purchase, lease or otherwise acquire a building with the federal government, the State, a political subdivision thereof or any other individual or entity properly authorized to do business in the State; provided that: (1) the noneducational uses of the building are compatible with the establishment and operation of a school, as determined by the Commissioner of Education; (2) the portion of the building to be used as a school meets regulations of the Department of Education; (3) the board of education has complied with the provisions of law and regulations relating to the selection and approval of sites; and (4) in the case of a lease, that any lease in excess of five years shall be approved by the Commissioner of Education and the Local Finance Board in the Department of Community Affairs;
(f) Acquire, with the approval of either the commissioner, or voters or board of school estimate, as applicable, improvements or additions to school buildings through lease purchase agreements not in excess of five years. The agreement shall be recorded as an expenditure of the General Fund of the district. The commissioner shall approve the agreement only upon a demonstration by the district that the lease purchase payments and any operating expenses related to the agreement can be included within the district@s net budget spending growth limitation and will not result in the need for approval by the voters or board of school estimate, as appropriate, of additional spending proposals to maintain existing instructional programs and extracurricular activities. If the commissioner cannot approve the agreement, the board of education may frame a separate question to authorize the lease purchase agreement and obtain voter or board of school estimate approval to enter into the agreement. A district may, without separate prior approval of the commissioner, also acquire equipment through a lease purchase agreement not in excess of five years or in the case of a lease purchase agreement entered into for the acquisition of school buses not in excess of 10 years, provided that the amount of the first installment and each subsequent installment for the lease purchase payments is included in the budget that is advertised and submitted for approval to the voters of the district or the board of school estimate, as appropriate. As used herein, a ~lease purchase agreement~ refers to any agreement which gives the board of education as lessee the option of purchasing the leased equipment or improvements or additions to existing school buildings during or upon termination of the lease, with credit toward the purchase price of all or part of rental payments which have been made by the board of education in accordance with the lease. As part of such a transaction, the board of education may transfer or lease land or rights in land, including any building thereon, after publicly advertising for proposals for the transfer for nominal or fair market value, to the party selected by the board of education, by negotiation or otherwise, after determining that the proposal is in the best interest of the taxpayers of the district, to construct or to improve and to lease or to own or to have ownership interests in the site and the school building to be leased pursuant to such lease purchase agreement, notwithstanding the provisions of any other law to the contrary. The land and any building thereon which is described in a lease purchase agreement entered into pursuant to this amendatory act, shall be deemed to be and treated as property of the school district, used for school purposes pursuant to R.S.54:4-3.3, and shall not be considered or treated as property leased to another whose property is not exempt, and shall not be assessed as real estate pursuant to section 1 of P.L.1949, c.177 (C.54:4-2.3). Any lease purchase agreement authorized by this section shall contain a provision making payments thereunder subject to the annual appropriation of funds sufficient to meet the required payments or shall contain an annual cancellation clause and shall require all construction contracts let by public school districts or let by developers or owners of property used for school purposes to be competitively bid, pursuant to N.J.S.18A:18A-1 et seq.;
(g) Establish with an individual or entity authorized to do business in the State a tenancy in common, condominium, horizontal property regime or other joint ownership arrangement on a site contributed by the school district; provided the following conditions are met:
(1) The individual or entity agrees to construct on the site, or provide for the construction thereon, a building or buildings for use of the board of education separately or jointly with the individual or entity, which shall be subject to the joint ownership arrangement;
(2) The provision of the building shall be at no cost or at a reduced cost to the board of education;
(3) The school district shall not make any payment for use of the building other than its pro rata share of costs of maintenance and improvements;
(4) The noneducational uses of the building are compatible with the establishment and operation of a school, as determined by the Commissioner of Education;
(5) The portion of the building to be used as a school, and the site, meet regulations of the Department of Education; and
(6) Any such agreement shall be approved by the Commissioner of Education and the Local Finance Board in the Department of Community Affairs;
(h) Acquire through sale and lease-back textbooks and non-consumable instructional materials provided that the sale price and principal amount of the lease-back do not exceed the fair market value of the textbooks and instructional materials and that the interest rate applied in the lease-back is consistent with prevailing market rates or is less.
Amended 1968, c.175, s.1; 1971, c.292; 1981, c.410, s.1; 1986, c.183, s.1; 1991, c.477; 1998, c.55, s.1; 2000, c.72, s.35; 2001, c.146, s.1.
18A:20-4.3. Construction, alteration or repair work upon premises to be leased to board of education; public work
Any construction, reconstruction, demolition, alteration or repair work, or maintenance work, including painting and decorating, done under private contract for any person, firm, corporation or association acting under an express agreement or understanding with any board of education that, upon completion of the work contracted for the site, structure or premises upon which such work was done will be leased by said board of education for public school purposes under the provisions of section 18A:20-4.2 of the New Jersey Statutes shall be deemed a ~public work~ for the purposes of the ~New Jersey Prevailing Wage Act~ (P.L. 1963, c. 150) and subject to the applicable provisions of that act, excepting only such provisions as can be applicable only in cases where a public body is a direct party to a contract for a public work.
L.1968, c. 175, s. 2, eff. July 19, 1968.
18A:20-4.4. Contract provision for payment of prevailing wage rate; necessity
Every contract in excess of $2,000.00 for any public work contracted for by a private party acting under an express agreement for subsequent lease by a board of education shall contain a provision stating the prevailing wage rate which can be paid (as determined pursuant to the applicable provisions of the ~New Jersey Prevailing Wage Act~ (P.L. 1963, c. 150) ) to the workmen employed in the performance of the contract, and the contract shall contain a stipulation that such workmen shall be paid not less than such prevailing wage rate. No board of education shall enter into any such agreement or understanding except upon the condition that such provision and stipulation shall be included in the contract; and no such agreement or understanding shall be valid or shall be honored by any board of education if such provision and stipulation are not included in the contract.
L.1968, c. 175, s. 3, eff. July 19, 1968.
18A:20-4.5. Contractor@s or subcontractor@s failure to pay prevailing wage; determination and effect
If any public work shall be contracted for by a private party acting under an express agreement or understanding for subsequent lease by a board of education, and if it shall be found prior to execution of a lease pursuant to such understanding or agreement that any workman or workmen employed by the contractor or any subcontractor covered by said contract has been paid a rate of wages less than the prevailing wage required to be paid by such contract, then the board of education involved in any such agreement or understanding shall not execute a lease pursuant thereto, nor make any payment in connection therewith, until all wages due and owing to any such workman or workmen in compliance with the stipulated prevailing wage rate have been paid; and such private party is hereby authorized to withhold from any contractor or subcontractor who shall have failed to pay the prevailing wage any sums due to such contractor or subcontractor to an amount sufficient to pay to any workman or workmen the balance of wages due him or them as a result of the contractor@s failure to pay the prevailing wage, and to make such payments directly to such workman or workmen out of the sums thus withheld. For the purposes of this section, the fact and extent of a contractor@s or subcontractor@s failure to pay the prevailing wage shall be determined in accordance with the applicable provisions of the ~New Jersey Prevailing Wage Act~ (P.L. 1963, c. 150).
L.1968, c. 175, s. 4, eff. July 19, 1968.
