The money from school district taxes levied in a particular school district shall be added to the school fund of that school district (A.R.S. § 15-992). The bond building fund is comprised of proceeds from the sale of bonds, which may be drawn for the purposes that other school money is drawn. Currently, if the bond building fund is balanced and has no outstanding indebtedness, the remaining balance must be used to reduce school district tax (A.R.S. § 15-1024). Provisions 1. States that if the Bond Building Fund is balanced and has no outstanding bonded indebtedness, the school district tax levy must be used to reduce the Bond Building Fund Balance. (Sec. 1) 2.
