This measure was not put on an election ballot |
The Oklahoma School District Bonds for Safety Facilities Amendment was not on the November 4, 2014 ballot in Oklahoma as a legislatively referred constitutional amendment. The measure, upon voter approval, would have authorized school districts to issue bonds to pay for personal safety facilities. The amendment would have required bond issuance to be approved by a three-fifths majority of voters in a school district. A school district would have been able to vote and approve this type of bond issue one time only and before November 4, 2019. The bonds would have been required to be repaid within twenty-five years.[1]
