Dear Mr. Zima:
As legal counsel for Unified School District No. 501 (USD 501), you request
our opinion regarding the name of a school district as it should appear on a
deed for real property owned by the school district. You raise this issue
because during a recent search of the real property files of USD 501, you
discovered that deeds for real property owned by USD 501 listed the school
district in fifteen different ways, including USD #501, Unified School District
#501, School District #501, Board of Education (Bishop), Topeka Board
of Education, and Whitson Elementary School.
Each unified district shall be designated by the name and style of 'unified
school district No.      (the number designated by the state
superintendent),            county (naming the home county of the
unified district), state of Kansas,' and by such name may ... hold such real
and personal property as it may require (acquire).rn The unified school
district you represent is identified as Unified School District No. 501,
Shawnee county, Kansas.2) In our opinion, a deed for real estate owned by
the school district should include the name of the school district in that form.
