22.1-130)

A. Notwithstanding the provisions of any other law or of any charter or any
ordinance, any school board may, by resolution, authorize the acquisition and
purchase from the United States or any agency thereof of any equipment,
supplies, materials, or other property, real or personal, in such manner as such
school board may determine.

B. It is the purpose of this section to enable school boards to secure from time
to time promptly the benefits of acquisitions and purchases as authorized by
this section, to aid them in securing advantageous purchases, to prevent
unemployment and thereby to assist in promotion of public welfare and to these
ends school boards shall have power to do all things necessary or convenient to
carry out such purpose, in addition to the expressed power conferred by this
section. This section is remedial in nature and the powers hereby granted shall
be liberally construed.
