15270
. (a) Notwithstanding Sections 15102 and 15268, any unified
school district may issue bonds pursuant to this article that, in
aggregation with bonds issued pursuant to Chapter 1 (commencing with
Section 15100), may not exceed 2.5 percent of the taxable property of
the district as shown by the last equalized assessment of the county
or counties in which the district is located. The bonds may only be
issued if the tax rate levied to meet the requirements of Section 18
of Article XVI of the California Constitution in the case of
indebtedness incurred pursuant to this chapter at a single election,
by a unified school district, would not exceed sixty dollars ($60)
per year per one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) of taxable
property when assessed valuation is projected by the district to
increase in accordance with Article XIII A of the California
Constitution.
(b) Notwithstanding Sections 15102 and 15268, any community
college district may issue bonds pursuant to this article that, in
aggregation with bonds issued pursuant to Chapter 1 (commencing with
Section 15100), may not exceed 2.5 percent of the taxable property of
the district as shown by the last equalized assessment of the county
or counties in which the district is located. The bonds may only be
issued if the tax rate levied to meet the requirements of Section 18
of Article XVI of the California Constitution in the case of
indebtedness incurred pursuant to this chapter at a single election,
by a community college district, would not exceed twenty-five dollars
($25) per year per one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) of
taxable property when assessed valuation is projected by the district
to increase in accordance with Article XIII A of the California
Constitution.
(c) In computing the outstanding bonded indebtedness of any
unified school district or community college district for all
purposes of this section, any outstanding bonds shall be deemed to
have been issued for elementary school purposes, high school
purposes, and community college purposes, respectively, in the
respective amounts that the proceeds of the sale of those outstanding
bonds, excluding any premium and accrued interest received on that
sale, were or have been allocated by the governing board of the
unified school district or community college district to each of
those purposes respectively.
(d) For purposes of this section, the taxable property of a
district for any fiscal year shall be calculated to include, but not
be limited to, the assessed value of all unitary and operating
nonunitary property of the district, which shall be derived by
dividing the gross assessed value of the unitary and operating
nonunitary property within the district for the 1987-88 fiscal year
by the gross assessed value of all unitary and operating nonunitary
property within the county in which the district is located for the
1987-88 fiscal year, and multiplying the result by the gross assessed
value of all unitary and operating nonunitary property of the county
on the last equalized assessment roll. In the event of the
unification of two or more school districts subsequent to the 1987-88
fiscal year, the assessed value of all unitary and operating
nonunitary property of the unified district shall be deemed to be the
total of the assessed value of the taxable property of each of the
unifying districts as that assessed value would be determined under
Section 15268.
(e) For the purposes of this article, "general obligation bonds,"
as that term is used in Section 18 of Article XVI of the California
Constitution, means bonds of a school district or community college
district the repayment of which is provided for by this chapter and
Chapter 1 (commencing with Section 15100) of Part 10, and includes
bonds of a school facilities improvement district the repayment of
which is provided for by this chapter and Chapter 2 (commencing with
Section 15300).
