1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That
section fifteen hundred and twenty-six of the Code of Virginia be
amended and re-enacted so as to read as follows:

Sec. 1526. Territorial jurisdiction of the school board in cities
and towns constituting a separate school district; its clerk, his
pay.—The official care and authority of the school board shall cover
all territory included in the corporate limits of the city or town
constituting a separate school district, and also shall cover all school
property located without and contiguous to the corporate limits of
such city or town, when the title to said property is vested either in
the school board of such city, as a body corporate, or in the city.
The majority of its members shall constitute a quorum. It may, in
its discretion, appoint a clerk, who may, or may not, be a member
of the board; and shall make by-laws and regulations for its own
government and for the management of its official business, so far
as they do not conflict with the provisions of the law. The salary
of said clerk shall be fixed by the school board.
