§ 10914 School District Expense Authority

• •All necessary expenses for the board’s actions come out of the district’s funds, no matter where the money originally came from.
• •Spending must follow the same procedures used for other school expenses.
• •The law does not change any existing rules about using school grounds or buildings, unless it specifically says so.

The school board wants to hire a speaker for a community meeting and needs to pay for the speaker’s fee and some snacks.

The cost of the speaker and snacks is charged to the district’s money, just like any other school expense, and the board must follow the normal rules for spending that money.
