AG Opinion:
posted on March 10 - 08:53 AM
Re: Whether a school district may purchase real property outside its boundaries for the purpose of constructing and operating a school (RQ-0304-KP) A court would likely conclude that section 11.167 of the Education Code does not expressly permit a school district to purchase land outside of its boundaries for the purpose of building and operating a middle school. Given the constitutional and statutory language referencing the construction and maintenance of public school buildings "in the district," we cannot predict with certainty whether a court would conclude that section 11.167 implies the power to do so.
