The Board of Education, or the chief administrative officer in the case
of any private or parochial school, is hereby directed and shall have the
continuing obligation to promptly notify the Borough Engineer and the Borough
Administrator of any changes or contemplated changes in the location and boundaries
of any property owned by or leased to any elementary or secondary school or
Board of Education or which is used for school purposes.
The Clerk of the borough is hereby directed to receive and to keep on file the original of the map approved and adopted pursuant to § 115-1 of this chapter, and to provide, at a reasonable cost, a true copy thereof to any person, agency or court which may from time to time request such a copy, along with a certification that such copy is a true copy of the map approved and adopted herein and kept on file. It is hereby further directed that a true copy of such map and of this chapter shall be provided without cost to the Morris County Clerk and to the office of the Morris County Prosecutor.
The following additional matters are hereby determined, declared, recited
and stated:
A.
It is understood that the map approved and adopted pursuant to § 115-1 of this chapter was prepared and is intended to be used as evidence in prosecutions arising under the criminal laws of the State of New Jersey 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 Board of Education.
(3)
That such school property is and continues to be used
for school purposes.
(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 and adopted map, all of the property depicted on the map approved
and adopted herein as school property was owned by or leased to a school or
Board of Education and was being used for school purposes as of July 9, 1987,
that being the effective date of P.L. 1987, c. 101 (N.J.S.A. 2C:35-7).

The failure of the map approved herein to depict the location and boundaries of any property which is, in fact, used for school purposes and which is owned by or leased to any elementary or secondary school or Board of Education, whether the absence of such depiction is the result of inadvertent omission or the result of any changes in the location and boundaries of such property which have not yet been incorporated into a revised approved map, shall not be deemed to be an official finding and record that such property is not owned by or leased to a school or a school board or that such property is not used for school purposes.

All of the requirements set forth in P.L. 1988, c. 44,
concerning the preparation, approval and adoption of a Drug-Free School Zone
Map have been complied with.
