SB 5807: School capital projects

Concerning the use of capital projects funds by school districts.

Summary

  • Expands the types of activities that may be funded with school districts' capital projects funds generated by two- to six-year levies, adding major equipment repair, painting of facilities, and other major preventative maintenance purposes, so long as funds used for these purposes do not supplant routine maintenance expenditures from the district's general fund.
  • Clarifies the definition of major renovation and replacement and adds major repairs, exterior painting of facilities, replacement and refurbishment of roofing, exterior walls, windows, and plumbing systems to the definition.
  • Directs the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction to develop accounting guidelines to allow for these new uses of capital projects funds.
