9 operations and maintenance and the purchase and improvements
10 of school grounds, pupil transportation, and fire prevention
11 and safety purposes, respectively, at not exceeding the rates
12 specified in the petition, which rates may thereafter be

17 If the election of the board of education of the new
18 district occurs at the general election or the nonpartisan
19 election (or the consolidated election beginning in 2003) and
20 the board of education makes its initial levy in that same
21 year, the county clerk shall extend such levy notwithstanding
22 any other law which requires the adoption of a budget before
23 the clerk may extend such levy.
24 If the election of the board of education of the new
25 district does not occur in the same calendar year that the
26 proposition to create the new district is approved, the
27 districts from which the new district is formed, by joint
28 agreement and with the approval of the regional
29 superintendent, shall be permitted to levy in the same
30 calendar year in which the creation of the new district is
31 approved at the rates specified in the petition. The county
