District.

A. The territory comprising the County of Tulsa shall be a

technology center school district for vocational and/or technical

schools to be known as the Tulsa Community College Technology Center

School District; and all laws applicable to other technology center

school districts shall apply to it, except as hereinafter provided.

The Board of Regents of the Tulsa Community College shall serve as

the governing board of education of the district. Programs in

postsecondary vocational and/or technical and/or adult education

shall be offered by the district, subject only to the authority

herein granted to the Tulsa Technology Center School District Board

which shall serve as a funding board for the Tulsa Community College

Technology Center School District. The funding board composed of

the elected members of the Tulsa Technology Center School District

shall have the sole authority to resolve and determine the

submission of a proposed millage or capital improvement bond issue

to a vote of the electorate. Provided, however, that in the event

of a favorable action on any such question submitted resulting in a

levy for the support of programs to be offered by the Tulsa

Community College Technology Center School District, then and in

that event the funds so voted and derived from such levy shall be

under the direct supervision and control of the governing board of

the Tulsa Community College Technology Center School District. All

funds expended for operations or capital improvements are subject to

approval by the Tulsa Technology Center School District Board. All

such funds shall be expended according to rules and procedures

prescribed by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education.

B. Not more than five (5) mills on the dollar valuation of the

taxable property in the district may be voted on and thereafter be

levied annually under Section 9B, Article X of the Oklahoma

Constitution, for postsecondary vocational and/or technical

education purposes in the district. Proceeds of such levies shall

be made a part of the educational and general operating budget of

the Tulsa Community College and shall be allotted, budgeted and

expended for supplemental support of the postsecondary vocational

and/or technical and/or adult education programs offered by the

college in accordance with rules made by the Oklahoma State Regents

for Higher Education; provided, however, that the State Regents

shall not take into consideration this local ad valorem tax revenue

for supplemental support of the district technical education program

when allocating state-appropriated funds for support of the basic

community college program.

C. The district may become indebted for not more than two

percent (2%) of the net valuation of taxable property within the

district for capital improvements to provide supplemental

accommodations for postsecondary vocational and technical education

programs offered at the Tulsa Community College, when such

indebtedness is approved by a majority of the electors of the

technology center school district voting on the question in an

election called for such purpose. Bonds in pursuance thereof shall

be issued in the same manner as bonds issued by boards of education

of other technology center school districts, and the proceeds of

such bonds shall be used for facilities approved by the Oklahoma

State Regents for Higher Education and shall be allocated, expended

and accounted for in accordance with rules of the State Regents.
