2 Provisions of the Law Funds may only be used for capital improvements. The tax began in March, 2015. It will be administered and collected by the Department of Revenue and distributed to the school district on a monthly basis. The school district will maintain records to demonstrate that tax proceeds are spent only for the purpose as stated. It is very important that the school district follow up on its commitments and promises to the patrons and voters. This approved plan reflects the projects that were indicated as priorities during the referendum process.
