Administration of gifts and donations.

Whenever any property, money or thing of value is donated to be used for the benefit of the public schools of this state, the State Board of Education shall have power to administer such trusts as it deems to the best interest of the school or schools for the benefit of which the donation or gift is made. The board of education is given complete control of such property and may sell, lease or otherwise dispose of the property as it deems to the best interest of the school or schools for the benefit of which such property is donated; or the board of education may convert the same into securities for handling the property or proceeds therefrom as in its discretion will best promote the purpose of the trust.
