What it does

On July 1, 2008, the state’s local sales and use taxes increased from to percent. The increase is used solely to fund the SAVE fund, and the SAVE fund is used solely to provide revenues to local school districts for school infrastructure purposes or school district property tax relief. One requirement of the SAVE fund is that a school with a certified enrollment of fewer than 250 pupils in the entire district or certified enrollment of fewer than 100 pupils in high school may not expend amounts received for new construction without prior application to the department of education and receipt of a certificate of need.
