§ 45.109. CONTRACTS FOR ATHLETIC FACILITIES. (a) Any
independent school district, acting by and through its board of
trustees, may contract with any corporation, municipality, or
institution of higher education, as defined by Section 61.003,
located wholly or partially in its boundaries, for the use of any
stadium and other athletic facilities owned by or under the control
of the other entity. The contract may be for any period not
exceeding 75 years and may contain terms agreed on by the parties.
(b) The district may enter into a contract for the use of
athletic facilities for any purpose related to sports activities
and other physical education programs for the students at the
public schools of the district.
(c) The consideration for a contract under this section may
be paid from any source available to the independent school
district. If voted as provided by this section, the district may
pledge to the payment of the contract an annual maintenance tax in
an amount sufficient, without limitation, to provide all of the
consideration. If voted and pledged, the maintenance tax shall be
assessed, levied, and collected annually in the same manner as
provided by general law applicable to independent school districts
for other maintenance taxes.
(d) A maintenance tax may not be pledged to the payment of
any contract under this section or assessed, levied, or collected
unless an election is held in the district and the maintenance tax
is favorably voted by a majority of the qualified voters of the
district voting at the election. The election order for an election
under this subsection must include the polling place or places and
any other matters considered advisable by the board of trustees.
