§ 15149 School Bond Brochure Rules

This law lets a school or community college district make brochures and put ads in newspapers to sell bonds, but only after voters have approved the bonds and using the district's own money.

Key Takeaways

  • •Brochures can only be made after voters approve the bond.
  • •The district pays for the brochures and ads from its own money.
  • •Ads can be placed in any newspaper or publication the board thinks will reach buyers.

Example

A town's high school wants to raise money for a new science lab. Voters say yes to the bond measure, then the school board hires a company to create a brochure and pays for a newspaper ad to tell people they can buy the bonds.

Because the voters approved the bond, the board can spend district funds to make the brochure and run the ad, helping people learn about and buy the bonds.
