Upon written request from a developing or operating charter school, school districts and other public bodies must list vacant or unused buildings or portions of buildings suitable for charter school use. Building owners have no obligation to sell or lease facilities to charter school operators. Oregon law provides that charter schools are eligible for bonds from the Oregon Facilities Authority.
