Amend KRS 162.055 to allow public school property to be utilized for employee housing; create a new section of KRS Chapter 162 to allow school boards or school district finance corporations to use property currently owned or newly leased to provide housing options for employees upon a determination that the use of land serves the educational purposes of the school district; make technical changes.
AI Summary
This bill allows public school property to be used for employee housing, a change to existing law (KRS 162.055). School boards or school district finance corporations can now provide housing options for their employees, whether on property they already own or lease, if they determine that doing so is essential for the school district's educational mission, particularly to help recruit and retain certified staff and other employees. This new provision is intended to address local conditions that might make it difficult to ensure the availability of school staff.
