STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 15837
Cooperative Service Agencies provide a valuable service to
smaller school districts by providing services on a consolidated
basis for less money than the individual districts could by
themselves. COSSA is a CSA that provides services for five (5)
school districts. Under current statute each of the districts
passes a levy to fund the CSA for operational expenses. There
are no funding mechanisms for building facilities of for
maintenance of those facilities. This proposed legislation would
provide a mechanism for CSA's to levy money for buildings and
maintenance. Each school district in the CSA would have to pass
the levy.
FISCAL NOTE
There is no impact on the General Fund.
