and adopted as an official finding and record of the location and
areas within the Borough of property which is used for school purposes
and which is owned by or leased to any elementary school, secondary
school or School Board, and of the areas on or within 1,000 feet of
such school property.
[Ord. No. 367 § 2]
The Drug-Free School Zone Map approved and adopted pursuant to subsection 3-5.1 shall continue to constitute an official finding and record as to the location and boundaries of areas on or within 1,000 feet of property owned by or leased to any elementary or secondary school or School Board which is used for school purposes until such time, if any, that this section shall be amended to reflect any additions or deletions with respect to the location and boundaries of school property and Drug-Free School Zones.

recited and stated:
a.
It is understood that the map approved and adopted pursuant to subsection 3-5.1 was prepared and is intended to be used as evidence in prosecutions arising under the criminal laws of this State, and that pursuant to State law, such map shall constitute prima facie evidence of the following:
1.
The location of elementary and secondary schools within the Borough;
2.
The boundaries of the real property which is owned by or leased to
such schools or a School Board;
3.
That such school property is and continues to be used for school
purposes; and
4.
The location and boundaries of areas which are on or within 1,000
feet of such school property.
b.
Except as is otherwise expressly noted on the face of the approved
