A Chapter 41 school district gets to keep ALL of
the Interest Sinking (IS) funds raised with

No recapture on IS funds.
Only certain expenses can be paid with bond money.
Capital outlay expenses 1. Buses 2. Maintenance
of buildings, including remodeling and/or
upgrades 3. Construction of buildings 4.
District may designate any item that costs more
than 500 and that lasts over five
(5) years as a capital outlay
expense
