Mr. John Costello, Assistant Treasurer
Fidelity School Street Trust (the trust):
Fidelity Limited Term Municipal Income Fund
Spartan Bond Strategist (the funds)
82 Devonshire Street
Boston, Massachusetts 02109
Dear Mr. Costello:
Fidelity School Street Trust (the trust) is a Massachusetts business
trust created under the name Fidelity Municipal Bond Fund under a
written Declaration of Trust executed and delivered in Boston,
Massachusetts on September 10, 1976. The trust's name was
changed to Fidelity Mid-Term Municipals by a Supplement to the
Declaration of Trust dated February 28, 1977 and filed with the
Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (the
Commonwealth) on March 1, 1977. A Supplement to the
Declaration of Trust was dated and filed with the Secretary of the
Commonwealth on March 28, 1977. The trust's name was further
changed to Fidelity Limited Term Municipals by a Supplement to
the Declaration of Trust dated and filed with the Secretary of the
Commonwealth on April 15, 1977. A Supplement to the
Declaration of Trust was dated and filed with the Secretary of the
Commonwealth on September 14, 1978. An Amended and Restated
Declaration of Trust, dated March 1, 1987, was filed with the
Secretary of the Commonwealth on March 24, 1987. Another
Supplement to the Declaration of Trust was filed with the Secretary
of the Commonwealth on November 30, 1988. The trust's name
was further changed to Fidelity School Street Trust by a
Supplement to the Declaration of Trust, dated June 17, 1993, and
filed with the Secretary of the Commonwealth on July 1, 1993. An
Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust was executed on
January 19, 1995 and filed with the Secretary of the
Commonwealth on February 14, 1995.
I have conducted such legal and factual inquiry as I have deemed
necessary for the purpose of rendering this opinion.
Capitalized terms used herein, and not otherwise herein defined, are
used as defined in the Declaration of Trust.
Under Article III, Section 1, of the Declaration of Trust, the
beneficial interest in the Trust shall be divided into such transferable
Shares of one or more separate and distinct Series or classes as the
Trustees shall from time to time create and establish. The number of
Shares is unlimited and each Share shall be without par value and
shall be fully paid and non-assessable. The Trustees shall have full
power and authority, in their sole discretion and without obtaining
any prior authorization or vote of the Shareholders or any Series or
class of Shareholders of the Trust, to create and establish (and to
change in any manner) Shares or any Series or classes thereof with
such preferences, voting powers, rights and privileges as the
Trustees may from time to time determine, to divide or combine the
Shares or any Series or classes thereof into a greater or lesser
number, to classify or reclassify any issued Shares into one or more
Series of Shares, to abolish any one or more Series or classes of
Shares, and to take such other action with respect to the Shares as
the Trustees may deem desirable.
Under Article III, Section 4, the Trustees shall accept investments
in the Trust from such persons and on such terms as they may from
time to time authorize. Such investments may be in the form of cash
or securities in which the appropriate Series is authorized to invest,
valued as provided in Article X, Section 3. After the date of the
initial contribution of capital, the number of Shares to represent the
initial contribution may in the Trustees' discretion be considered as
outstanding and the amount received by the Trustees on the
account of the contribution shall be treated as an asset of the Trust.
Subsequent investments in the Trust shall be credited to each
Shareholder's account in the form of full Shares at the Net Asset
Value per Share next determined after the investment is received;
provided, however, that the Trustees may, in their sole discretion,
(a) impose a sales charge upon investments in the Trust and (b)
issue fractional Shares.
By a vote adopted on September 10, 1976 and amended on
February 22, 1985, the Board of Trustees authorized the issue and
sale, from time to time, of an unlimited number of shares of
beneficial interest of the trust in accordance with the terms included
in the current Registration Statement and subject to the limitations
of the Declaration of Trust and any amendments thereto.
I understand from you that, pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, the trust has registered an
indefinite amount of shares of beneficial interest under the
Securities Act of 1933. I further understand that, pursuant to the
provisions of Rule 24f-2, the trust intends to file with the Securities
and Exchange Commission a Notice making definite the registration
of 41,406,591 shares of the trust (the "Shares") sold in reliance
upon Rule 24f-2 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995.
I am of the opinion that all necessary trust action precedent to the
issue of Shares has been duly taken, and that all the Shares were
legally and validly issued, and are fully paid and non assessable,
except as described in the funds' Statements of Additional
Information under the heading "Shareholder and Trustee Liability."
In rendering this opinion, I rely on the representation by the trust
that it or its agent received consideration for the Shares in
accordance with the Declaration of Trust and I express no opinion
as to compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, the Investment
Company Act of 1940 or applicable state "Blue Sky" or securities
laws in connection with sales of the Shares.
I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Securities and
Exchange Commission in connection with a Rule 24f-2 Notice
which you are about to file under the 1940 Act with said
commission.
Sincerely,
/s/ Arthur S. Loring
Arthur S. Loring
