AI Summary
This bill, by adding section 15-492 to Arizona Revised Statutes, establishes a new restriction on school districts' ability to hold elections for issuing bonds or changing previously approved capital projects. Specifically, if a school district's current student enrollment is less than fifty percent of its total capacity to educate students, its governing board is prohibited from calling an election for these purposes. The bill defines "enrollment capacity" as the number of students that can be educated in the district's existing buildings, calculated by the School Facilities Oversight Board according to established minimum facility adequacy guidelines, with a key provision that buildings leased out by the district are not counted towards this capacity if they are used by the lessee to provide instruction to students in kindergarten through twelfth grade.
