Opinion Number

Dear Senator McPherson:

You have requested an opinion from this office regarding the limitations placed on school boards in Louisiana with respect to the lease of sixteenth section lands. Specifically, you have asked the following three questions:

1) Is a school board seeking to lease land for hunting purposes or construction of permanent structures required to advertise the leases pursuant to the requirements in R.S. 41:1214?

2) Is a school board seeking to lease land for hunting purposes or construction of permanent structures required to receive consideration equal to the fair market value?

3)…
