The manual is intended to guide attorneys and officials of school districts in the issuance and sale of school district bonds. Purchasers of school district bonds rely on the recommendations of accredited bond attorneys who render opinions concerning the validity and legality of bond issues offered for sale. This manual is designed to assist in complying with Oregon statutes in the authorization and issuance of school district bonds so that a favorable opinion on a bond issue may be obtained from such attorneys. This current edition updates the contents of previous publications and includes applicable statutory amendments enacted by the 1975 and 1977 legislative sessions. (Author/MLF)
