ARIZONA STATE SENATE
Phoenix, Arizona
schools; district service
programs
Allows
school district governing boards to provide and charge for goods or services to
the community at large.
Background
Arizona
law allows school district governing boards to contract its district services
with other district schools, departments, or other school districts as a way to
generate revenue (Laws 1996, Chapter 124).
S.B. 1160 allows school
district governing boards to contract district service programs with entities
throughout the community. For example,
this bill allows schools to provide services such as staff training and
professional development to private companies, cater cafeteria meals to local
nursing homes, or sell educational products developed by the district to
individuals and private companies for a cost.
Such expansion to allow schools to provide services to the community at
large is an additional way for school district governing boards to generate
revenue.
The fiscal impact of this
bill, if any, cannot be determined at this time.
1. Allows school district governing boards to provide and charge for goods or service to the community at large.
2. Removes the allowance that a school district governing board charge for district service programs on a cost reimbursement basis.
3. Contains a conforming change.
4. Provides for a general effective date.
