§ 1266 School Maintenance Fund Transfer

If a school district decides to use the special repair programs, the county superintendent must move up to 1% of the state money the district gets that year into a special repair fund, but only if the district asks for it.

Key Takeaways

  • •The rule only kicks in when a district chooses to use sections 1267‑1270.
  • •The district’s board must ask the superintendent to move the money.
  • •The amount moved can’t be more than 1% of the state school money the district gets that fiscal year.

Example

A school board votes to join the state’s school repair program and tells the county superintendent they want to use it.

The superintendent will then take no more than 1% of the state funding the district receives that year and put it into a separate repair fund for the schools.
