                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

TRANSFER OF TITLE TO SCHOOL PROPERTY; ADJUDICATION OF OWNERSHIP (§ 22.1-56)

The title to all school property in the school division shall be vested in the
division school board. The school board of every county or part thereof included
in such school division and the city council or the school board, whichever
holds title to the school property included in such school division, shall
transfer title to the school property included in such school division to the
division school board.
		If, at the time a school division to which the provisions of this article are
applicable is formed, the ownership of school property, real or personal, has
not been determined or the title thereto is in question or there is a dispute as
to the ownership or title, then such question of ownership or title may be
determined before the formation of the school division either by a written
agreement between the participating divisions with the approval of the
respective governing bodies thereof or by any participating division petitioning
a circuit court in the jurisdiction where the property or any part thereof lies
to determine the title to the property, and such adjudication of ownership or
title shall be conclusive thereafter.
