§ 15125 Joint School District Bonds

This law says that when a school district wants to borrow money by selling bonds, only the county that oversees the school district needs to approve and handle the process. Other counties where the school district is located don’t have to do anything.

Key Takeaways

  • •Only one county (the one in charge of the school district) has to approve and sell school bonds.
  • •Other counties where the school district is located don’t need to be involved.
  • •The bonds don’t need signatures from officers in other counties.

Example

Imagine a school district that covers parts of two counties wants to build a new school. To pay for it, they need to sell bonds (like borrowing money from people).

Only the county that is in charge of the school district has to approve and sell the bonds. The other county where the school district is located doesn’t need to sign off or do anything.
