It shall have the use, within Category I lands, of building sites for school buildings and residences which are required for its educational purposes by means of agreements to be entered into between the board and the local governments. Such agreements shall be for a nominal monetary consideration, by long term lease or other similar contract, to enable the school board to receive the transfers or leases to it of the school buildings, facilities, residences or equipment specified in section 584 and to enable it to construct any building it may require for its purposes. Any allocation so made shall not be construed to exclude such allocated land from Category I.
