17458
. (a) Notwithstanding Article 8 (commencing with Section
54220) of Chapter 5 of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5 of the
Government Code, the governing board of a school district complying
with Section 101238.2 of Title 22 of the California Code of
Regulations and seeking to sell or lease real property it deems to be
surplus property and for which a charter school has not accepted an
offer to purchase or lease pursuant to Section 17457.5, may first
offer that property for sale or lease to a contracting agency, as
defined in Section 8208, pursuant to the following conditions:
(1) The real property sold or leased shall be used by the
contracting agency, or by a successor in interest to the contracting
agency, exclusively for the delivery of child care and development
services, as defined in Section 8208, for a period of not less than
five years from the date upon which the real property is made
available to that agency, or successor in interest, pursuant to the
sale, or, in the event of a lease, until the real property is
returned to the possession of the school district, whichever occurs
earlier.
(2) In the event that the contracting agency, or any successor in
interest, fails to comply with the condition set forth in paragraph
(1), that agency, or successor in interest, that purchased the real
property, is required immediately to offer that real property for
sale pursuant to this article and Article 5 (commencing with Section
17485) and to sell the property pursuant to those provisions. The
agency, or its successor in interest, shall comply, in that regard,
with all requirements under those provisions that would otherwise
apply to a school district, except that a sale price computed under
subdivision (a) of Section 17491 shall be based upon the cost of
acquisition incurred by the school district that sold the property
pursuant to this subdivision, rather than that incurred by the
contracting agency or its successor in interest. In the event,
alternatively, of a lease of real property pursuant to this
subdivision, the failure by the contracting agency, or any successor
in interest, to comply with paragraph (1) shall constitute a breach
of the lease, entitling the school district to immediate possession
of the real property, in addition to any damages to which the school
district may be entitled under the lease agreement.
(3) The school district, and each of the entities authorized to
receive offers of sale pursuant to this article or Article 5
(commencing with Section 17485), has standing to enforce the
conditions set forth in this subdivision, and shall be entitled to
the payment of reasonable attorneys' fees incurred as a prevailing
party in any action or proceeding brought to enforce any of those
conditions.
(b) No sale or lease of the real property of a school district, as
authorized under subdivision (a), may occur until the school
district advisory committee has held hearings pursuant to subdivision
(c) of Section 17390.
(c) This section is in addition to, and shall not limit the
requirements of, Article 5 (commencing with Section 17485), but this
section may be used with regard to property that the governing board
of a school district may retain under Section 17490.
