The specific language of the Lancaster School District bond election:

Per Dallas County Elections’ sample ballot:

“THE ISSUANCE OF BONDS IN THE AMOUNT OF $215,000,000 FOR THE CONSTRUCTION, RENOVATION, ACQUISITION AND EQUIPMENT OF SCHOOL BUILDINGS AND THE PURCHASE OF NEW SCHOOL BUSES AND THE LEVYING OF THE TAX IN PAYMENT THEREOF.”

Now, if one wants to be technical, it says NOTHING about school equipment, i.e., computers. Also, while the board guarantees bonds will only be issued as needed, there is no legal restriction toward that end. Of course, you can’t DO such a legal restriction — a current elective governmental body is prohibited from encumbering a future one.
