§ 15326 School Facilities District Formation

This law lets a school board officially create a special district to pay for school building projects after a hearing, and requires the board to say how much it will cost and give the district a name.

Key Takeaways

  • •The board can create a school facilities improvement district after a hearing.
  • •The resolution must include an estimate of how much the project will cost.
  • •The district must be given a name like “School Facilities Improvement District of ___ School District” or “... Community College District.”

Example

A city wants to build a new elementary school. After a public hearing, the school board passes a resolution that creates the “School Facilities Improvement District of Oakwood School District” and says the project will cost $15 million.

The board follows the law by making a resolution after the hearing, stating the cost, and naming the new district, so the money can be collected and used for the school construction.
