All school property heretofore belonging to the County of Davidson and all school property heretofore belonging to the City of Nashville shall belong to the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County for the use and benefit of the board of education, and the title to all school property hereafter acquired shall be vested in the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County for the use and benefit of the board of public education. The board of public education is hereby designated as the legal custodian of all school property; and when in the judgment of said board any property held by it is no longer suited or needed for school purposes, said board is hereby authorized, with the approval of the council and mayor, to sell such property and have the proceeds credited to the unappropriated school fund of the metropolitan government.

In acquiring or selling property, the board shall cooperate closely with the planning commission, whose recommendation shall be sought and carefully considered by the board.
