MI SB0048

Amends Michigan's Revised School Code to require school district boards to obtain approval from local units of government before building or expanding certain school buildings outside cities or villages.

School districts must submit site plans for high school buildings that provide transportation to students to local government for administrative review within 60 days, with a 45-day response period for suggested changes.

Establishes approval requirements for school buildings that do not provide student transportation, requiring local unit of government approval before construction or expansion of at least 20% square footage increase.

Limits local government fees to $250 for administrative review or $1,500 maximum total costs per project, and specifies that communication with local government is informational only and does not require school districts to make changes.

Defines "school building" as any structure used for instructional purposes and "high school building" as any instructional facility offering grades 9-12 that includes an athletic field or facility.
