to improve, alter, equip and furnish such land, classrooms,  offices  or

ative educational services or the community in which it is  located.  No
lease  or  other  contract  for  the occupancy of such land, classrooms,
offices or buildings shall be enforceable against the board  of  cooper-
ative  educational  services  unless  and until the same shall have been
approved in writing by the commissioner.
