§ 1214 Bond Issue Election Certification

• •Two‑thirds (about 66.7%) of the votes must be in favor for the bond to pass.
• •The board must put the vote result in its official minutes.
• •The board must quickly send a report to the county supervisors that lists the bond’s purpose, amount, interest rate, and election result.

A school district wants to borrow money to build a new gym. They hold a vote and 68% of the voters say yes. The board writes down that the vote passed and sends a report to the county supervisors that includes why the bond is needed, how much money is being borrowed, the interest rate, and the vote result.

Because more than two‑thirds voted yes, the board follows the law by recording the result and certifying all the bond information to the supervisors.
