school district board of trustees shall hold at least two (2)
public hearings within the district at which the board provides
an explanation of the need to obtain district funding for
building and facility features that are in excess of state
standards for buildings and facilities.
(d) In addition to subsection (a) of this section and for
any bond proposition submitted to district voters on or after
July 1, 2007, the proposition shall provide that not less than
three percent (3%) of bond proceeds be used for the creation of
reserves or sinking funds for the maintenance and repair of any
buildings or facilities or any building or facility features in
excess of state building and facility adequacy standards which
are to be constructed or otherwise acquired through the bond
issue.
