community college district, or county office of education for the
construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation, or replacement of
school facilities, including the furnishing and equipping of school
facilities, or the acquisition or lease of real property for school
facilities, approved by 55% of the voters if the proposition includes
specified accountability requirements.
   This bill would prohibit proceeds from the sale of bonds
authorized and issued pursuant to the exception described above to be
used to purchase instructional materials, as defined.
