After
provision
has been made for the payment of all school expenses, to appropriate from
the educational fund school funds or to borrow funds for the purchase of
real estate and for the improvement by construction of buildings or other
structures, or improved real estate in a deteriorated or uninhabitable
condition,
for vocational and other educational training of pupils, and as incident
thereto and when authorized or requested by resolution adopted by the
affirmative vote of two-thirds of the members of the school board, to acquire
title to the real estate in the name
of the school district

or used as a schoolhouse or for permanent use as school property; that such
property so purchased and improved shall be sold or otherwise disposed of
within 5 years from the date of its acquisition; that not more than one
piece of real estate to be improved and one piece of improved real state
in a deteriorated or uninhabitable condition may be so purchased for each
secondary school or area vocational center which offers vocational training
within the school district for any such purpose in any one calendar year,
unless additional properties are examined and approved by the Superintendent
of the Educational Service Region in the county in which the district is
located, for larger training programs necessitating more property to
accommodate
larger student enrollments; and that no such real estate may be acquired
for
any such purpose by means of eminent domain proceedings. If the school board
does not hold legal title to the school site or other school property that is
to be used for any purpose authorized by this Section, then

district requesting
the conveyance of a school site or other school property or a portion thereof
the trustees of schools or other school official having legal title to such
property shall convey such property to such school district as provided in
