The board of trustees of any agricultural high school shall have the power and authority to borrow money for the current expenses of such agricultural high school in anticipation of the collection of ad valorem taxes for the current fiscal year. The money so borrowed shall bear interest at a rate not greater than that allowed in Section 75-17-105, Mississippi Code of 1972, and shall be repaid not later than the following March 15 out of the first moneys collected by reason of the tax levy or levies in anticipation of which such money is borrowed. The money so borrowed shall be used for no other purpose than the payment of the current expenses of such agricultural high school. The amount borrowed under the provisions of this section shall in no event exceed fifty percent (50%) of the anticipated, but then uncollected, revenue to accrue to such agricultural high school by the tax levy or levies against which such money is borrowed.
In borrowing money under the provisions of this section, it shall not be necessary to publish notice of intention so to do or to secure the consent of the qualified electors, either by election or otherwise. Money may be borrowed under the provisions of this section by authority of a resolution of said board of trustees, and shall be evidenced by a negotiable note or notes, signed and executed in such form as may be prescribed in such resolution. Money may be borrowed in anticipation of ad valorem taxes under the provisions of this section, regardless of whether such borrowing shall create an indebtedness in excess of the statutory limitations.
