Sec. 19-1. Debt limitations of school districts.(a) School districts shall not be subject to the provisions limiting their  indebtedness prescribed in the Local Government Debt Limitation Act.No school districts maintaining grades K through 8 or 9 through 12  shall become indebted in any manner or for any purpose to an amount,  including existing indebtedness, in the aggregate exceeding 6.9% on the  value of the taxable property therein to be ascertained by the last assessment  for State and county taxes or, until January 1, 1983, if greater, the sum that  is produced by multiplying the school district's 1978 equalized assessed  valuation by the debt limitation percentage in effect on January 1, 1979,  previous to the incurring of such indebtedness.No school districts maintaining grades K through 12 shall become  indebted in any manner or for any purpose to an amount, including  existing indebtedness, in the aggregate exceeding 13.8% on the value of  the taxable property therein to be ascertained by the last assessment  for State and county taxes or, until January 1, 1983, if greater, the sum that  is produced by multiplying the school district's 1978 equalized assessed  valuation by the debt limitation percentage in effect on January 1, 1979,  previous to the incurring of such indebtedness.No partial elementary unit district, as defined in Article 11E of this Code, shall become indebted in any manner or for any purpose in an amount, including existing indebtedness, in the aggregate exceeding 6.9% of the value of the taxable property of the entire district, to be ascertained by the last assessment for State and county taxes, plus an amount, including existing indebtedness, in the aggregate exceeding 6.9% of the value of the taxable property of that portion of the district included in the elementary and high school classification, to be ascertained by the last assessment for State and county taxes.  Moreover, no partial elementary unit district, as defined in Article 11E of this Code, shall become indebted on account of bonds issued  by the district for high school purposes in the aggregate exceeding 6.9% of the value of the taxable property of the entire district, to be ascertained by the last assessment for State and county  taxes, nor shall the district become indebted on account of bonds issued by the district for elementary purposes in the aggregate exceeding 6.9% of the value of the taxable property for that portion of the district included in the elementary and high school classification, to be ascertained by the last assessment for State and county taxes.Notwithstanding the provisions of any other law to the contrary, in any  case in which the voters of a school district have approved a proposition  for the issuance of bonds of such school district at an election held prior  to January 1, 1979, and all of the bonds approved at such election have  not been issued, the debt limitation applicable to such school district  during the calendar year 1979 shall be computed by multiplying the value  of taxable property therein, including personal property, as ascertained  by the last assessment for State and county taxes, previous to the incurring  of such indebtedness, by the percentage limitation applicable to such school  district under the provisions of this subsection (a).(a-5) After January 1, 2018, no school district may issue bonds under Sections 19-2 through 19-7 of this Code and rely on an exception to the debt limitations in this Section unless it has complied with the requirements of Section 21 of the Bond Issue Notification Act and the bonds have been approved by referendum.(b) Notwithstanding the debt limitation prescribed in subsection (a)  of this Section, additional indebtedness may be incurred in an amount  not to exceed the estimated cost of acquiring or improving school sites  or constructing and equipping additional building facilities under the  following conditions:(1) Whenever the enrollment of students for the next     school year is estimated by the board of education to increase over the actual present enrollment by not less than 35% or by not less than 200 students or the actual present enrollment of students has increased over the previous school year by not less than 35% or by not less than 200 students and the board of education determines that additional school sites or building facilities are required as a result of such increase in enrollment; and(2) When the Regional Superintendent of Schools     having jurisdiction over the school district and the State Superintendent of Education concur in such enrollment projection or increase and approve the need for such additional school sites or building facilities and the estimated cost thereof; and(3) When the voters in the school district approve a     proposition for the issuance of bonds for the purpose of acquiring or improving such needed school sites or constructing and equipping such needed additional building facilities at an election called and held for that purpose. Notice of such an election shall state that the amount of indebtedness proposed to be incurred would exceed the debt limitation otherwise applicable to the school district.  The ballot for such proposition shall state what percentage of the equalized assessed valuation will be outstanding in bonds if the proposed issuance of bonds is approved by the voters; or(4) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (1)     through (3) of this subsection (b), if the school board determines that additional facilities are needed to provide a quality educational program and not less than 2/3 of those voting in an election called by the school board on the question approve the issuance of bonds for the construction of such facilities, the school district may issue bonds for this purpose; or(5) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (1)     through (3) of this subsection (b), if (i) the school district has previously availed itself of the provisions of paragraph (4) of this subsection (b) to enable it to issue bonds, (ii) the voters of the school district have not defeated a proposition for the issuance of bonds since the referendum described in paragraph (4) of this subsection (b) was held, (iii) the school board determines that additional facilities are needed to provide a quality educational program, and (iv) a majority of those voting in an election called by the school board on the question approve the issuance of bonds for the construction of such facilities, the school district may issue bonds for this purpose.In no event shall the indebtedness incurred pursuant to this  subsection (b) and the existing indebtedness of the school district  exceed 15% of the value of the taxable property therein to be  ascertained by the last assessment for State and county taxes, previous  to the incurring of such indebtedness or, until January 1, 1983, if greater,  the sum that is produced by multiplying the school district's 1978 equalized  assessed valuation by the debt limitation percentage in effect on January 1,  1979.The indebtedness provided for by this subsection (b) shall be in  addition to and in excess of any other debt limitation.(c) Notwithstanding the debt limitation prescribed in subsection (a)  of this Section, in any case in which a public question for the issuance  of bonds of a proposed school district maintaining grades kindergarten  through 12 received at least 60% of the valid ballots cast on the question at  an election held on or prior to November 8, 1994, and in which the bonds  approved at such election have not been issued, the school district pursuant to  the requirements of Section 11A-10 (now repealed)  may issue the total amount of bonds approved  at such election for the purpose

subsection (d) may incur an additional  indebtedness in an amount not to exceed $4,500,000, even though the amount of  the additional indebtedness authorized by this subsection (d), when incurred  and added to the aggregate amount of indebtedness of the district existing  immediately prior to the district incurring the additional indebtedness  authorized by this subsection (d), causes the aggregate indebtedness of the  district to exceed the debt limitation otherwise applicable to that district  under subsection (a):(1) The additional indebtedness authorized by this     subsection (d) is incurred by the school district through the issuance of bonds under and in accordance with Section 17-2.11a for the purpose of replacing a school building which, because of mine subsidence damage, has
