No power to make expenditures relating to proposed constitutional amendment. This section does not empower a board of education to make expenditures in support of the opposition to a proposed constitutional amendment. Campbell v. Joint Dist. 28-J, 704 F.2d 501 (10th Cir. 1983).

Effect of collective bargaining agreement on teachers' claims against board. Where senior high school English teachers brought suit claiming that the action of the school district board of education in prohibiting the use of certain books as instructional material constituted an infringement of academic freedom, such claims must be denied where all the teachers of the district, through a bargaining agent, entered a collective bargaining agreement with the school board in which final authority for the choice of instructional material was yielded to the school board. Cary v. Bd. of Educ., 427 F. Supp. 945 (D. Colo. 1977), aff'd, 598 F.2d 535 (10th Cir. 1979).
