Any deposit into such fund shall be designated at the time of deposit for a specific capital project named by the school board; 2. No deposit into such fund shall be withdrawn or used for any purpose other than the capital project designated pursuant to subdivision 1; and 3. The school board may make withdrawals from such fund at any time, and no such withdrawal shall be encumbered by any deadlines or other timelines or time-based restrictions.
