Struggling school districts gain more borrowing options

Beginning June 11, 2026, Washington school districts under binding financial conditions or enhanced financial oversight gain another borrowing option. They can borrow temporarily from their transportation vehicle fund, in addition to their capital projects fund. Loans must be repaid in full within one calendar year, without interest, and cannot harm the lending fund’s purposes. Each loan needs a school board resolution stating the exact amount, funds involved, repayment source, and repayment schedule. Districts must disclose outstanding loan balances in monthly financial reports to the board. Districts under enhanced oversight also need their special administrator’s approval, based on recommendations from the financial oversight committee.
