Key Takeaways

  • •Money saved for a special project (like fixing schools) can only be used for that project.
  • •You can’t spend this money on anything else, even if something else seems important.
  • •If you borrow money (like bonds) for a project, you can only use it for that project.
  • •You can move money between funds if they are for the same project and same borrowed money.

Example

A school district borrows money to build a new playground.

The money can only be used for the playground. They can’t use it to buy new computers or fix the roof. If they have leftover money from another playground fund, they can combine it, but only for playgrounds.
