School district bonds require voter approval with at least 50.1% of qualified electors participating in the election, in addition to a majority voting in favor

Public funds (building funds, cash funds, discretionary funds) are prohibited from being used to campaign for or advocate in school district bond elections; privately donated funds from sources like booster clubs and parent-teacher organizations are exempt

School district and educational service unit employees cannot use paid work time to campaign for bond elections, though they may provide general factual information about bond subject matter, amount, and election date

Campaign materials supporting bond measures cannot be distributed or posted on school district or educational service unit properties, facilities, grounds, or vehicles; neutral informational materials are permitted

Joint entities that include school districts or educational service units (created after February 14, 2024) must meet the same 50.1% voter participation threshold and are subject to the same restrictions on public funds and campaign activities
