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. Contact Name: Rep. Darrell Bolz Phone: 332-1000 STATEMENT OF PURPOSE/FISCAL NOTE H 705
