1 43 payments. Payments made to school districts pursuant
1 44 to this section are miscellaneous income for purposes
1 45 of chapter 257 or are considered encumbered. Each
1 46 school district shall maintain a separate listing
1 47 within its budget for payments received and
1 48 expenditures made pursuant to this section. Moneys
1 49 received under this section shall not be used for

2 25 the department of education that the school district
2 26 has undertaken a serious effort to meet its school
2 27 infrastructure needs. In making this determination,
2 28 the department shall consider the relative size and
2 29 property tax base of the school district, and the
2 30 information provided to the department in the school
2 31 district's infrastructure progress report pursuant to
2 32 section 297A.1.
