Q May a school district borrow from its sixteenth section principal und to resurface the driveways and to construct a new parking lot on the main campus of the district?

A Yes, Section 29-3-113 permits borrowing from sixteenth section funds “for the erection, equipment, or repair of said district schools.” The improvements appear to be capital improvements for the benefit of the district’s schools and are within the scope of the intended use of funds described in Section 29-3-113.
