1 35 within the school district from moneys appropriated to
1 36 the department or from moneys otherwise obtained or
1 37 accepted by the department. The department shall
1 38 allocate five million five hundred thousand dollars
1 39 for grants to be distributed October 1 and five
1 40 million five hundred thousand dollars for grants to be
1 41 distributed April 1 of each year if such funds are
1 42 available for the program. The director of the
1 43 department shall recommend rules to the state board of
1 44 education regarding the administration of the program.
1 45 The board shall adopt rules which include at least all
1 46 of the following:

1 48 district is seeking a bond issue under chapter 298 to
1 49 finance vertical infrastructure projects in the

2 1 of the projects to be funded through the bond issue.
2 2 b. That the school district apply for the grant

2 14 issue by the voters of the school district. Matching
2 15 grants which are not made due to the failure of the
2 16 school district to approve a bond issue shall remain
2 17 in the fund and be available for award to another

2 42 communications network.
