Tensas school board can sell unused property

The Tensas Parish School Board can sell state-owned school land and other real estate in the parish on Louisiana’s behalf. It can also exchange that property for land within Tensas Parish. The board must determine the property is no longer needed for schools and disposal serves the school system’s best interests. Before either transaction, a certified, licensed appraiser must value the property, and the public can inspect the appraisal. In an exchange, the total value received, including land, must at least equal the value given up. The board must keep mineral rights and interests with the state as required by law.
