What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

This bill requires the Department of Public Instruction to provide matching funds for deposits that a school board makes to a long-term capital improvement trust fund. The required match is equal to 50 percent of the total amount deposited in the previous school year. The bill also requires DPI to make a one-time payment to school boards for any funds deposited in a long-term capital improvement trust fund before July 1, 2017. A long-term capital improvement trust fund is a fund created by a school board for the purpose of financing the costs of the capital improvements included in the school board's approved long-term capital improvement plan.

Under the bill, if a school board adopts a resolution to increase the school district's levy limit for operating costs or capital costs, the school board is required to refund to DPI any matching funds it received for a deposit to a long-term capital improvement trust fund during the ten school years immediately preceding the resolution. If a school board fails to refund the amount of the matching funds to DPI within 12 months, DPI must reduce the school district's state aid to cover the amount due.
