§ 37-27-81. Sale of school property upon abolition of school pursuant to petition and election; disposition of proceeds.
When an agricultural high school is abolished under the provisions of Section 37-27-79, then it shall be the duty of the board of supervisors or boards of supervisors, to advertise the sale of and to sell all of the property of such school to the highest bidders for cash. The proceeds of such sale shall be used to pay off any outstanding indebtedness of such school. If there is a balance after paying all outstanding indebtedness then such balance shall be paid into the county school fund of such county or counties.
In the event the proceeds of the sale of the property of such school are not sufficient to pay all outstanding indebtedness of such school, then the board or boards of supervisors of such county or counties shall levy a tax on the property of the county or counties sufficient to pay the outstanding indebtedness when it becomes due.
Alternatively, the board of supervisors may transfer any part or all of such property to any school district in said county.
