§ 15124 School Bond Election Certification

This law says that when a vote on school bonds gets enough support, the school board must write down the result in its meeting notes and send a certified copy of the vote to the county board of supervisors.

Key Takeaways

  • •If two‑thirds of the votes (or a simple majority for certain repair projects) are for the bond, the result must be recorded in the board’s minutes.
  • •The board must then certify the result to the county board of supervisors.
  • •The county superintendent also sends a copy of the election results to the county board.

Example

A town votes on a bond to rebuild an old elementary school. 70% of the voters say yes, which is more than two‑thirds.

Because the vote is more than two‑thirds in favor, the school board writes that fact in its minutes and then sends a certified copy of the election results to the county’s board of supervisors. The county superintendent also forwards a copy to the board.
