162.010 Title to school property.

The title to all property owned by a school district is vested in the Commonwealth for the

benefit of the district board of education. In the acquisition of land for school purposes,

whether by purchase or condemnation, or otherwise, the title obtained shall be in fee

simple, except that title to land received from the federal government or any agency

thereof can be received in other than fee simple with the approval of the Attorney General

of the Commonwealth. Any reversionary interest in any land held by boards of education

on June 14, 1934, shall not deprive such boards of the ownership of the buildings or other

improvements thereon.
