§ 15723 School District Election Validation

• •School districts may hold elections about apportionments either before or after the apportionment is made.
• •Any election held before Oct. 13 1950 is automatically validated if it was called and run according to the law.
• •The rule was added in 1996 and became effective in 1997 (operational in 1998).

A school district decides to vote on how to spend a state grant before the state tells them the exact amount they will get.

Because the law says elections can happen before the grant amount is set, the vote is legal. If the same district had voted in 1949 and followed all other election rules, that vote is also automatically considered valid.
