Prohibits certain school districts under State intervention from leasing building if purchase price would be less than total costs of lease.

This bill prohibits New Jersey school districts under state intervention (due to failing governance standards) from leasing buildings if the total lease payments over the lease term would exceed the building's purchase price. It directly affects districts managed by the state because they haven't met required governance benchmarks, requiring them to choose between leasing or purchasing based on cost. The key provision mandates that districts or the state acting on their behalf must compare total lease costs against a building's purchase price before entering lease agreements. The law aims to prevent districts from incurring higher long-term expenses through leasing when buying is financially preferable. This applies only to districts under state oversight for governance failures, not to all school districts.
