(WKYT) - School facility funds must be kept in restricted accounts, and on Monday, Kentucky lawmakers heard concerns about how that money is being spent.Members of the Office of Education Accountability addressed a joint session of lawmakers in two education-based committees.Lawmakers were told that while two bills provide some leeway in spending from capital projects, they have also led to a broad interpretation of what is allowed.And there are concerns about how the funds are distributed.“And in 2025, districts transferred $90 million from restricted funds to the general funds, of those most were from the building fund, not the actual capital outlay fund,” said Dr. Deborah Nelson of the Kentucky Office of Education Accountability.Lawmakers were told that if the flexibility were extended to move funds from smaller accounts, such as the capital outlay fund, more clarification from school districts may be needed.</div></body>
