Illegal to Use Bond Funds for Annexation
Kentucky Attorney General John Breckinridge ruled that it is illegal for the Louisville Board of Education to use bond issues or specially voted building funds to pay for annexation of fringe areas into its system. He said bond issues cover capital expenditures only and building funds cover school sites, buildings, or related needs. The case concerned annexing fringe-area residents from Jefferson County to the city district, a move opposed for funding reasons after crowding concerns in several city schools.
