School capital construction-constitutional amendment.

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to shift responsibility for building school facilities from the state to local school districts, while establishing mandatory state funding to equalize local tax burdens. It requires districts to fund construction primarily through voter-approved bonds, with state aid ensuring that districts with lower property values pay no more in local taxes than the statewide average. The amendment also allows the state to provide optional hardship funds and maintains voter approval as the final decision for bond authorizations. This change responds to a 2001 court ruling that previously placed construction responsibility on the state, which the legislature says became unsustainable due to lost revenue sources.
