If any land purchased by the school district pursuant to the provisions of subsection 2 has not been placed in use as a school site at the end of 10 years from the date of purchase, the land must be offered to the subdivider or the successor in interest of the subdivider at a sale price equal to the fair market value of the land at the time of the offer, as determined by an independent appraisal paid for by the board.4.
If the subdivider or the successor in interest of the subdivider does not accept an offer made pursuant to the provisions of subsection 3 or 9, then the board of trustees may:(a)

Land dedicated under the provisions of former NRS 116.020, as it read before April 6, 1961, which the board of trustees determines is unsuitable, undesirable or impractical for school purposes may be reconveyed without cost to the dedicator or the successor or successors in interest of the dedicator.7.

The fair market value of the land at the time the tentative map was approved, as determined by an independent appraisal paid for by the board, plus any costs paid by the subdivider with respect to that land between the date the tentative map was approved and the date of purchase; or(b)
The fair market value of the land on the date of purchase, as determined by an independent appraisal paid for by the board.8.
If, 5 years after the date on which the final map that contains the school site was approved, a school district has not purchased the site pursuant to the provisions of subsection 7, the subdivider need not continue to set aside the site pursuant to the provisions of subsection 2.9.
If, 10 years after the date on which the final map that contains the school site was approved, construction of a school at the school site has not yet begun, the land purchased by the school district pursuant to subsection 7 must be offered to the subdivider or the successor in interest of the subdivider at a sale price equal to the fair market value of the land at the time of the offer, as determined by an independent appraisal paid for by the board.
