At a time when state funding of public education is in jeopardy, it’s sometimes difficult to understand why a school district would be looking at spending money on construction and other “one-time” expenditures.

The answer is that it depends upon where the money is coming from.

The recent improvements at Addison Community Schools of concrete repairs came out of the District General Fund. Enclosures to classrooms in the Panther Elementary School and the new handicap accessible exterior set of doorways were made possible through the allocation of money from the “Capital Projects-General” fund which cannot be used for any operational expenses. These monies were used as they were intended for those allowable building expenditure repairs.

It is important to know that bond funds can only be used for what is approved by voters. Bond funds cannot be used for general operating expenses such as textbooks, classroom supplies, salaries, maintenance, and any other operational expenses. State law specifically limits how a school district can use bond funds. Would it be helpful if we could use bond fund monies to purchase textbooks or a new bus? You bet! But laws prohibit us from doing that. Only those things that fall within the scope of any budget proposal can be thoughtfully considered.
