At any time after the appointment or election of the governing board of a school district and the naming of the school district, the board may secure an option to purchase land for school purposes for which school district bonds may be issued. The board may proceed, thereafter, in accordance with the provisions of this code, governing the issuance of school district bonds, with the same effect as though control of the property of the district had already been vested in the board.
