§ 3226. Revenue from grammar school lands

(b) When in any school district in which lands are located a high school or an academy, approved by the board of education, is maintained by a town or incorporated school district, the revenues arising from such lands shall be used in the maintenance of such high school or academy; but if such high school or academy is not maintained by the district, the revenues arising from such lands shall be used in the payment of the tuition of resident students pursuing advanced instruction in other districts.

(d) In case the leases have not expired, which were originally granted to particular academies or grammar schools, the revenues shall be paid to the board of school directors or prudential committee of the town or incorporated school district in which such lands are located who shall receipt for the same, and they may sue for and collect all rents; and the revenues shall be used as hereinbefore provided.
