OPINIONS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

Title to school property of abolished local district.

- Title to school property located within the county and recorded as being owned by the trustees of an abolished local school district passes by operation of law to the county board of education upon the abolition and merger of the local school district into the county system and the same rule would follow for property held by an independent city system. 1954-56 Op. Att'y Gen. p. 266.

School tax may be collected without deduction for preparing school digest.

- It is proper to levy and collect the county school tax without any deduction therefrom as payment for the preparation of a separate school digest. 1965-66 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 65-62.

County boards not authorized to make payments for digests.

- Absent valid local law to the contrary, county boards of education are not authorized to make to county tax collectors, and county tax collectors are not authorized to receive from county boards of education, payments for the preparation of county school tax digests. 1968 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 68-348.
