facilities or to make additions and improvements to  existing
school   buildings,   may   be  combined  into  one  or  more
propositions on the ballot.
    Before erecting,  or  purchasing  or  remodeling  such  a
building  the board shall submit the plans and specifications
respecting heating,  ventilating,  lighting,  seating,  water
supply,  toilets  and  safety  against  fire  to the regional
superintendent of schools having supervision and control over
the district, for approval in accordance with Section 2-3.12.
    Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, no referendum shall
be required if the purchase,  construction,  or  building  or
moving  of  any such building or office facility is completed
(1) while the building is being leased by the school district
or (2) with the expenditure of (A)  funds  derived  from  the
sale  or  disposition of other buildings, land, or structures
of the school district or (B) funds received (i) as  a  grant

donations, provided that no funds to complete such  building,
other  than  lease  payments,  or office facility are derived
from the district's bonded indebtedness or the  tax  levy  of
the district.
