Universal Citation: MS Code § 37-47-15 (2019)
- No grants accruing to any school district shall be expended for any purpose unless such expenditure has been approved by the commission. In order to guide the commission in passing upon requests for the use of grants, the school boards of the respective school districts are directed to prepare a survey of necessary capital improvements and/or a plan for tax relief on school indebtedness within each school district. Such surveys shall show existing facilities, desirable consolidations, the new construction and new facilities necessary and desirable for the efficient operation of the public schools of the school districts, proper compliance with state energy conservation standards, and the plan of tax reduction in the school districts by use of such funds in retiring any outstanding indebtedness for school facilities. The commission shall not approve any application for the use of funds of the said public school building fund from the school board of any school district until such time as an acceptable and reasonably satisfactory plan, looking particularly to efficiency through consolidations of school attendance centers, has been submitted by the school board.
- Furthermore, the commission shall not approve any application for the use of funds of the public school building fund until such time as an acceptable plan has been submitted by the appropriate board which complies with improved design, heating, cooling, ventilation, lighting, insulation and architectural standards provided by the State of Mississippi to promote maximum energy conservation in new and existing public buildings.
- All applications from school districts shall conform to the plan of the school board.
