Any school district using the capital outlay fund for payment of construction of new facilities or construction of additions to facilities, the total of which requires advertising for bids under chapter 5-18A, shall have a public hearing at least ten days prior to the advertisement of any contract specifications. The public hearing shall be advertised in the legal newspaper of the school district.

No school district may change the originally advertised use of the fund without holding another public hearing.
