Statute 72-9503: Cooperative agreements; financial provisions; termination, changes.
The boards of education of any two or more school districts
may make and enter into agreements providing for cooperative operation and
administration of a program of bilingual education on a shared-cost basis.
Any school district which is a party to such a cooperative
agreement may be designated the sponsoring district under such agreement.
The agreement entered into shall provide for a separate fund of the sponsoring
school district, to which each contracting district shall pay the moneys
due from it under the agreement, and all such moneys received by the sponsoring
district shall be credited to such fund. The expenses of a sponsoring district
attributable to bilingual education shall be paid from such fund and payment
of such expenses shall not be operating expenses of the sponsoring district.
Payments from the general fund of a contracting district to a sponsoring
district and transfers of money from the general fund of a sponsoring district
to the separate fund provided for hereunder shall be operating
expenses. Any agreement entered into under authority of this
section shall be subject to change or termination by the legislature; and
within the limitations provided by law, any such agreement may be changed
or terminated by mutual agreement of the contracting school districts.
