The following additional matters are hereby determined, declared, recited
and stated:
A. It is understood that the maps approved and adopted pursuant to §

(1) The location of elementary and secondary schools within
the municipality.
(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

and adopted herein as school property was owned by or leased to a school or
the Board of Education and was being used for school purposes as of July 9,

156-1 of this article. The failure of the map approved herein to depict the location and boundaries of any property which is, in fact, used for elementary or secondary school or the Board of Education, whether the absence of such depiction is the result of location and boundaries of such property, which have not yet been incorporated into revised and approved maps, shall not be deemed to be an official finding and record that such property is not owned by or leased to a school or the Board of Education, or that such property is not used for school purposes.
D. All of the requirements set forth in L. 1988, c.44, concerning
the preparation, approval and adoption of Drug-Free School Maps have been
complied with.
