You are viewing a past version of this section that is no longer in effect View Current Version

The board of education of a city, local, exempted village, or joint vocational school district, the governing board of an educational service center, or the governing authority of a community school may enter into a lease-purchase agreement providing for construction; enlarging or other improvement, furnishing, and equipping; lease; and eventual acquisition of a building or improvements to a building for any school district, educational service center, or community school purpose. The agreement shall provide for a lease for a series of one-year renewable lease terms totaling not more than thirty years. The agreement shall provide that at the end of the series of lease terms provided for in the agreement the title to the leased property shall be vested in the school district or educational service center, if all obligations of the school district, educational service center, or community school provided for in the agreement have been satisfied. The agreement may, in addition to the rental payments, require the school district, educational service center, or community school to pay the lessor a lump-sum amount as a condition of obtaining title to the leased property. In conjunction with the agreement, a school district board of education, an educational service center governing board, or a governing authority of a community school may grant leases, easements, or licenses for underlying land or facilities under the board's control for terms not exceeding five years beyond the final renewal term of the lease-purchase agreement entered into pursuant to this section. Payments under the agreement may be deemed to be, and paid as, current operating expenses.

The obligations under a lease-purchase agreement entered into pursuant to this section shall not be considered to be net indebtedness of a school district under section 133.06 of the Revised Code.
