Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed says the city will deliver 10 deeds to school properties to Atlanta Public Schools.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that Reed made the announcement Monday.

The school system wants to sell surplus properties, but the city holds school property deeds — a holdover from decades ago before the city and school system were legally separated.
