SECTION 2. In order to raise funds for the purpose set forth in Section 1, the board of trustees of Saluda County School District No. 1, South Carolina, the governing body of the school district, is authorized to issue and sell general obligation bonds of the school district, either as a single issue or as several separate issues, without holding an election, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed four hundred thousand dollars ($400,000).

The notice must set forth the purchaser, purchase price, interest rate, and maturity date of the bonds.
Full faith and credit pledged
SECTION 10. For the payment of the principal and interest of the bonds, the full faith, credit, and taxing power of the school district must be irrevocably pledged, and there must be levied annually by the auditor of Saluda County and collected by the treasurer of Saluda County, in the same manner as county taxes are levied and collected, on all taxable property in the school district, a tax sufficient to pay the principal and interest of the bonds.
Tax-exempt status
