(105 ILCS 5/5-29) (from Ch. 122, par. 5-29)
Sec. 5-29.
Sale
of school land for roads.
Whenever the State, county, city, village, incorporated town, township
or road district authorities lay out a new road, street or highway, or
alter, widen or relocate existing roads, streets or highways, and for such
purposes require lands used for school sites, or land owned for school
purposes, the trustees of schools or school officials having legal title to
such lands have the power, with the consent of the school board of the
district, to sell and convey to the State, county, city, village,
incorporated town, township or road district the land required for such
purposes, or may dedicate to public use for street and highway purposes as
much of said school land as may be necessary to open, extend, alter, widen
or relocate any street or highway which may be required by the municipal
authorities to be opened, extended, altered, widened or relocated, if they
are of the opinion that the benefit to accrue for the opening, extending,
altering, widening or relocating of such street or highway will compensate
for the strip so dedicated.
