42840. The governing board of a school district may provide for the accumulation over a period of school years of funds for capital outlay purposes and salaries of school district employees whose work is directly related to projects financed by those funds, derived from the receipt of taxes levied for the district and from other sources including balances, and not required to be used for other than capital outlay purposes. The governing board of a school district may also provide for the accumulation over a period of school years of funds for other than capital outlay purposes, derived from the receipt of taxes levied for the district and from other sources including balances, and not required to be used for capital outlay purposes. 42841. Upon the filing of identical copies of a resolution of the governing board with the superintendent of schools, auditor, and treasurer of the county specifying the purpose or purposes of a special reserve fund, the fund shall be established for such purpose or purposes. From time to time thereafter, the governing board may file identical copies of resolutions specifying additional purposes of the fund or withdrawing any purpose previously designated. The auditor and treasurer shall transfer from the general fund to the special reserve fund of the district such amounts as may be specified by the governing board during the fiscal year. 42842. (a) The governing board may expend the money in the special reserve fund for capital outlay for the purpose or purposes specified in any resolution filed pursuant to Section 42841 unless the purpose has been withdrawn pursuant to that section. In addition, unless actually encumbered for ongoing expenses, the governing board may expend the money in the fund for the general operating purposes of the district. (b) The governing board of a school district may expend the money in the special reserve fund that is maintained for purposes other than capital outlay in accordance with this section. Any moneys to be expended from this special reserve fund first shall be transferred into the general fund of the district. 42843. Any moneys remaining in the special reserve fund of the district shall be transferred to the general fund of the district by the auditor and treasurer upon written request to the superintendent of schools, auditor, and treasurer of the county by the governing board of the district, and the auditor and treasurer shall discontinue the special reserve fund.
