CHAPTER 449 An Act to amend and reenact § 22.1-26 of the Code of Virginia, relating to regional charter schools. [H 1577] Approved March 26, 1999

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That § 22.1-26 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:

§ 22.1-26. Joint schools.

Two or more school boards may, with the consent of the State Board, establish joint or regional schools, including regional charter schools, for the use of their respective school divisions and may jointly purchase, take, hold, lease, convey and condemn both real and personal property for such joint or regional schools. The school boards, acting jointly, shall have the same power of condemnation as other school boards except that land so condemned shall not be in excess of thirty acres for the use of any one joint school. The title to all property acquired for such purposes shall vest jointly in the school boards in such respective proportions as the school boards may determine, and the schools shall be managed and controlled by the school boards jointly, in accordance with such regulations as are promulgated by the State Board. However, the regulations in force at the time of the adoption of a plan for the operation of a joint or regional school shall not be changed for such joint or regional school by the State Board without the approval of the school boards. The school boards operating a regional charter school shall determine the school division to which any regional charter school is assigned for the purposes of any restrictions on the number of charter schools imposed by § 22.1-212.11.
