15-1108. District services fund
A. A school district governing board may establish district services programs to
provide goods or services, excluding services provided pursuant to section 15-213, to
district schools or departments or other school districts and may charge users on a cost
reimbursement basis. Revenues from the operation of a district services program shall be
transmitted to the county treasurer for deposit in a district services fund. The
governing board may employ personnel, purchase supplies and equipment and incur other
necessary expenses related to the operation of a district services program. Examples of
district services programs include printing and duplicating, data processing and motor
pool services.
B. A district services fund shall be accounted for as prescribed in the uniform
system of financial records pursuant to chapter 2, article 4 of this title. A school
district governing board may advance monies from the maintenance and operation fund into
the district services fund to cover start-up costs. Monies in the district services fund
are not subject to reversion at the end of the fiscal year. The governing board may
direct the county treasurer to establish a separate fund pursuant to this section for
each district services program.
C. A school or department may choose not to purchase services from a district
services program if the school or department determines that it is more advantageous for
the school or department to procure the services from another source.
D. The provisions of this section shall not be utilized to replace services
provided to a school district by a private enterprise as defined in section 41-2751.
