School district boards are entitled to condemn property for roads leading to their buildings despite the lack of specific authority under state law, the Arizona Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday.
The La Paloma Property Owners Association had argued that Catalina Foothills Unified School District had no right to take control of a private road in the gated community to build a new vehicle entrance for the school. Attorney Lawrence Schubart said that right is limited to cities, counties and towns.
