<br />
<br />§ 115C-518. Disposition of school property; ease-
<br /> ments and rights-of-way.
<br /> (a) When in the opinion of any local board of education the use of
<br />any building site or other real property or personal property owned
<br />or held by the board is unnecessary or undesirable for public school
<br />~urposes, the local board of education may dispose of such according
<br />to the procedures prescribed in General Statutes, Chapter 160A,
<br />Article 12, or any successor provisions thereto. Provided, when any
<br />real property to which the board holds title is no longer suitable or
<br />necessary for public school purposes, the board of county commis-
<br />sioners for the county in which the property is located shall be
<br />afforded the first opportunity to obtain the property. The board of
<br />education shall offer the property to the board of commissioners at a
<br />fair market price or at a price negotiated between the two boards. If
<br />the board of commissioners does not choose to obtain the property
<br />as offered, the board of education may dispose of such property
<br />according to the procedure as herein provided. Provided that no
<br />State or federal regulations would prohibit such action. For the
<br />purposes of this section references in Chapter 160A, Article 12, to
<br />the "city," the "council," or a specific city official are deemed to
<br />refer, respectively, to the school administrative unit, the board of
<br />education, and the school administrative official who most nearly
<br />performs the same duties performed by the specified city official. A
<br />local board of education may also sell any property other than real
<br />property through the facilities of the North Carolina Department of
<br />Administration. The proceeds of ~nv sa~~ of real orooerty or from
<br />any lease for a t~rm ~t' ~vor nrta vear shal[be aDolied t, redUc~ the

<br />~ (b) In addition to the foregoing, local~bOards of edfication are
<br />hereby authorized and empowered, in their sound discretion, to
<br />grant easements to any public utility, municipality or quasi-munic-
<br />ipal corporations to furnish utility services, with or without com-
<br />pensation except the benefits accruing by virtue of the location of
<br />the said public utility, and to dedicate portions of any lands owned
<br />by such boards as rights-of-way for public streets, roads or side-
<br />walks, with or without compensation except the benefits accruing
<br />by virtue of the location or improvement of such public streets,
<br />roads or sidewalks.
