This section of the law highlights that California prioritizes helping school districts provide essential classrooms and school sites for public school students. The main focus is on building and providing classrooms first, before considering other types of educational facilities. Making sure there are enough classrooms for students is more important than any other school facilities that might be nice to have.

This section defines several important terms used in the chapter. First, it explains that the 'Board' refers to the State Allocation Board, while the 'Director' means the Director of Education for K-12. 'Project' includes purposes approved by the State Allocation Board for school district funding. 'Grade level maintained by a district' describes the grade ranges that elementary, high school, or unified school districts can claim, though only one grade level can be claimed per district under each option. 'Apportionment' refers to the allocation of funds under specific sections, including contributions required from school districts for approved purposes, clarifying that this isn't a change but a confirmation of what's already in place.

This law defines what is meant by the term "basic bond requirement" for school districts. It states that this requirement is calculated as 5% of the total value of taxable property within the district for each grade level, based on the most recent property assessment. There are possible adjustments based on other sections mentioned.

This law explains how unified school districts in California can apply for funding for the grades they offer, from kindergarten through 12th grade. It allows districts to get funds for just kindergarten, just grades 1-12, or both. However, if a district chooses, it can opt out of these requirements for three years by sending a written notice to the board.

This law makes sure that funds for school buildings aren't used to build permanent structures for just temporary student increases. If a high school or unified district can't house students because of space limits, the board might approve extra funding to build portable facilities, knowing the student numbers might drop in six to nine years. However, they can't approve more space than rules already set by specific sections.

The Director of General Services is responsible for managing this set of rules and must help the board with any support they need.

This law states that the State Allocation Board will continue to exist for its chapter-related purposes. Board members and legislators working with the board don't get paid for their services, but they can get reimbursed for necessary expenses while doing their duties. These reimbursements come from the State School Building Aid Fund.

This law requires that when funds are being allocated to school districts, priority should be given to those districts where students would gain the most from new school buildings. Factors like severe overcrowding, fast-growing student numbers, and how long a district has been waiting for funds are considered. However, exceptions can be made if it's in the best interest of the affected children. The State Department of Education helps the board decide these priorities.

This law allows the board to prioritize giving money to school districts to repair or replace buildings that have been damaged by earthquakes occurring after July 1, 1952. It also allows the State Allocation Board to get a non-binding report from the Department of General Services to assess how urgent the repair or replacement work is before they decide on the funding.

This law requires the State Department of Education to help school districts when they apply for funding. They assist with planning by guiding the process and connecting districts with experts. They also conduct ongoing research about educational programs and facilities, and they evaluate how well these facilities support education. Additionally, they share information through publications, seminars, and planning guides to aid school districts.

This law states that any school district in California wishing to receive funds must create a detailed, long-term master plan. This plan should include the district's educational goals, how current facilities are used, demographic trends, responses to social issues, housing priorities, and cooperation with local agencies for community development. It must also ensure regular updates to adapt to changes. The plan is reviewed by a director, who then reports back with recommendations.

This law explains how school districts must handle property, like buildings or equipment, when it is being replaced through state funding. The board decides how these items should be sold or transferred. Any money made from selling the old property helps reduce the amount of money the state gives the district. Districts must follow the board's instructions, and they might need to transfer ownership of the property to the state. The state then sells the property and uses the funds to adjust the funding given to the district. In some cases, the law allows for state funding to demolish old facilities. This law applies to any property replaced through such funding.

This law allows the board to prioritize giving funds to school districts that have sold facilities and used that money to pay off previous fund allocations. However, the funds they can receive won't exceed the amount they used to pay off those previous allocations since July 1, 1970, and it's only for projects that were approved before July 1, 1970.

This section explains how money from the State School Building Aid Fund can be given to school districts for certain projects, and it labels these projects as public works. The funds can be used for buying and improving school sites, buying furniture and equipment necessary for schools, and planning and constructing school buildings. This includes specific types of rooms like classrooms, auditoriums, gymnasiums, cafeterias, or other multipurpose spaces approved by the State Department of Education. If districts need insurance for construction-related risks, the cost might be covered by these funds. Additionally, if it’s sensible and fair, a district can get funds to buy existing facilities from another district.

This law allows a school district to receive extra funding to lease portable classrooms when they are building new facilities. To qualify, their current building project must already have been approved and not finished. The district must also show a significant increase in student attendance, or that many classes are overcrowded, like having three shifts a day. They must also be making full use of their current facilities. Any extra funding received must be paid back under the same conditions as the original project funding.

This law says that if a school district leases land or has a permit to use land owned by the U.S. government, it can be considered as though the school district has actually purchased the land. This means the district is treated as if it holds the title and ownership of the land.

This section states that before the school board allocates funds to replace subpar school facilities, it must first check if fixing them is either not cost-effective or not advisable. Basically, they have to prove that renovating won't be worth the effort or money before deciding to replace them.

This law allows funds to be given to school districts, not only to build or fix schools but also to work on necessary projects outside the school's property, like building roads or installing utilities, if those are needed for the school to function properly. These projects are considered public works.

This law explains that when a school district in California uses state funds to purchase or improve property, the state technically owns that property. The state can record its interest in the property through certificates filed with the county. If the school district wants to sell or dispose of the property, the Director of General Services can release the state’s interest, but there might be conditions to ensure the state benefits. Once the school district pays off its debts under this law, they get back the title to any personal property purchased with the funds, making it theirs again.

This law allows a board to require school districts to get insurance for state-owned school properties like sites, equipment, and buildings. The insurance is meant to protect the state's interests, but the state funds cannot be used to pay the insurance premiums.

This law says that a school district can't spend certain state funds unless they've done a competitive bidding process for the contracts related to that spending.

If a school district wants state funding for a construction project, it needs to submit an application with estimated costs and plans. These costs must be certified by an architect or engineer. The board sets construction cost standards, and projects can't exceed these costs unless justified by rising building costs. Schools cannot contract for construction if costs go above the board's limit. Each project needs a separate application, and projects are considered individually. The district's financial capacity is assessed for funding contributions. The board may adjust contributions but won't increase them without the district's consent unless there's misconduct by the district. Applications are reviewed for approval, and funding is conditional upon bond votes and financing within a year.

This section allows a school district to ask for changes to its yearly payment duties instead of getting conditional funding if it qualifies. The board can request data to figure out how many students the district could support with new school facilities, calling these "eligible attendance units." It calculates "eligible facilities cost" by multiplying the attendance units by the average cost of school facilities per student. If the district is running enough year-round classes to house these attendance units, the Director of General Services will certify an amount equal to 5% of the eligible facilities cost as eligible bonded debt service.

This law allows school districts in California that have a year-round or continuous school program to apply for financial help to install air cooling systems in facilities started before the end of 1972. The financial assistance can come in three ways: direct funding like in Section 16024, using money from district bonds, or proceeds from selling unused school property. The board will set cost limits on these installations, and any financial aid can't exceed these standards.

This law states that if proceeds from selling an unused site are used for an air cooling system, it's treated as if the funds were originally allocated for that purpose. The money must be repaid following specific repayment rules, regardless of another section that might normally apply.

If a school district in California gets extra funds to build facilities for schools that operate year-round and then later stops running the schools year-round, a specific amount will be deducted from what they owe on their bonds. This deduction will be spread over a few years, but it won't be more than a certain limit of the original extra funds, including interest. This ensures the district is using the funds as intended.

This law allows certain school districts in California to request funds to modify existing school facilities for programs like year-round schooling. These funds can’t be more than the eligible costs set by other specific sections. Approval is needed from the State Department of Education, and priority might be given to projects necessary for running year-round classes. The modifications funded can’t exceed the standard of building a new school. Any money given is subtracted from the costs before the General Services Director calculates cost adjustments for the district.

This law states that generally, school districts in California aren't required to contribute money from specific funds to projects that receive state funding help, with some exceptions. Specifically, money coming from the State School Fund or taxes not earmarked for bonds doesn't have to be used. However, if bond money has been spent in ways outside what's intended by the law, the district might have to provide funds matching what was misused. Also, if bond money was spent on certain purchases like school buses before 1967, districts might be required to pay it back in installments over up to ten years, either from accessible general funds or by increasing taxes slightly to cover the payment.

If a school district in California uses bond money for things not intended by the rules, the board can decide not to make the district pay for a project with its own funds. Instead, the board may classify the misused bond money as ineligible for certain financial considerations related to paying off debts.

If a school district spends money from bonds to build a swimming pool before applying for additional state funding, this won't automatically disqualify them from receiving those funds. However, the board might ask the district to contribute some of its own money for the project.

This law outlines the process and standards the board must follow before approving applications related to furniture and equipment for school projects. Before approval, they must establish cost standards for furniture and equipment after discussing with the State Department of Education. These standards should not exceed what similar districts use, unless there's a rapid increase in costs. For projects involving changes to existing buildings, they must consider what's already usable before approving costs. The board reviews these standards quarterly and can't approve amounts higher than the set standards unless costs suddenly rise.

This law allows a board to approve funding requests from school districts for construction projects, up to the amount requested. The board can provide funding in parts as the district is ready to start different parts of the project. If costs are higher than expected, the board can give more money but the district might need to hold an election to handle the extra expenses. If a school needs more funds for site acquisition and additional costs arise, the board can provide more funds without requiring extra bond issuance, especially if it's in the state's interest and the district can't cover the costs on its own. However, this approval does not guarantee future funding.

This section requires the board, with input from the State Department of Education, to set standards for evaluating how site costs relate to the size of any school site being bought with specific funds. When setting these standards, they must consider several factors: the school's grade levels, its location, expected student enrollment, the cost per acre, site development costs, and how the land in the area is used.

This section explains that if a board approves extra funds for a school construction project more than two years after its initial approval, the board can continue to grant necessary funds to finish the project without needing the district to re-qualify. However, these additional funds must be given within two years after the district was asked to issue more bonds.

This law says that even after a school construction project is approved and funded, the board can provide more funding beyond two years if needed. This can happen without the school district needing to issue more bonds as long as two conditions are met: first, the project is about fixing an unsafe school building, and second, extra funds are needed to meet new safety requirements that weren't expected at first.

This law explains how school districts in California can apply for funding to buy land or prepare building plans if those aren't part of a larger construction project. The district must follow the application process mentioned in Section 16024. If enrollment levels justify the need for land or plans within five to seven years, the application might be approved. Special conditions apply if student numbers are rapidly increasing or if land is scarce. The educational board can approve parts of the application but only after checking the need. The district must repay any funds received, including interest, over up to 30 years. If the site or plans ever become part of a construction project that gets its own funding, the district won't have to make additional repayments for them. Some sections of the law don't apply here, and certain rules for combining funding are clarified.

This law basically says that if a school district in California receives government funds to buy land or prepare building plans and then starts construction or uses those plans with different funding after January 1, 1977, the project is treated as if those initial funds were meant for construction. The remaining funds and interest from the initial grant are not paid back like usual but are instead added to the final construction costs. This way, it makes financial management easier for ongoing school construction projects.

This section explains that in any month when priority point procedures are used, a board can allocate up to $400,000 to school districts. However, any final amounts given under a specific part of another section are exempt from this limit.

If money has been set aside for building on a school site after September 9, 1953, and if it relates to a previous allocation under Section 16039, no more deductions will be made from payments related to that site, except during the fiscal year when the new construction funding is finalized. The amount still owed plus any interest will be added to the new construction funds. This combined amount has to be repaid in the way this law outlines. The Controller will alert the school district's board and relevant county officials of any changes based on this rule.

This law allows the board to give money to school districts for buying land or temporary school buildings, preparing sites, and dealing with utility costs. The board and the State Department of Education can set standards for these sites and facilities. The board can use the State School Building Aid Fund for construction and related costs, and may lease or sell the buildings to school districts under certain agreements. The agreements may include costs for preparing the sites and must handle payments to ensure a fair return to the state. The county superintendents can also lease or sell facilities to school districts if it doesn't conflict with state agreements. Approval from the State Department of Education is needed for any property transfers. School districts must pay promptly, and the board can sell facilities if it's beneficial for the state. Eligible school districts are those that could receive funds based on the board's rules, which may include exceptions to area restrictions.

When a school district receives a conditional portion of funds, but legal proceedings disrupt the process to finalize that funding, the district still has nine months after the legal matters are resolved to make it final. If a second investigation reveals that the district's needs have changed, the initial amount might be reduced accordingly.

This law section outlines how school districts in California apply for funding related to new school construction based on average daily attendance estimates. It states that existing and proposed building area shouldn't exceed limits set by certain sections, and the total student attendance should be estimated for a maximum of three years into the future, or four years for certain districts. The focus is on appropriate allocation of school space and funding. Special provisions allow extra space for programs for exceptional children. It also provides rules for including grades 7 and 8 in attendance estimates for funding purposes. The education board must fashion measures for average daily attendance based on new housing availability in the district.

This law explains how to determine the existing school building space in a district when they apply for school construction funds. It outlines how to include or exclude certain building areas, such as service areas like bus garages and maintenance shops. It also allows for exceptions if it benefits the children. The law specifies what buildings shouldn't be counted, like those used solely for preschools or parent cooperatives, and how different types of buildings from various time periods are treated. The overall goal is making sure the school district's construction area doesn't exceed the limits set by another section, 16044, but with options for adjustments based on specific criteria.

If a school building area was initially excluded when calculating adequate school construction space, it can't be counted later even if it's converted into a space for vocational education, as long as the conversion was funded by federal or district dollars specifically set aside for that and not through state funds or certain bond funds.

This law specifies how much space a school district is allowed to allocate for kindergarten through sixth grade. If a district has at least 300 students in these grades, they can have 55 square feet per student. For districts with fewer than 300 students, the board will decide the appropriate amount of space, ensuring it's sufficient for educational needs while being efficient with the available area.

This section explains that if a school district builds a building using funds other than those from the state or federal government, or receives a building as a gift or bequest from non-government sources, the area of that building isn't counted when determining existing school construction space. Additionally, if a school district leases a building for more than 24 years and pays $5 or less annually, it is considered a gift.

This law says that when figuring out how much school space is available, you can't count classrooms or buildings used for adult education during regular school hours, unless those buildings were funded by selling school district bonds or through state or federal aid programs.

This law states that if a school building was built using money from a specific past tax, its area shouldn't count when calculating how much school construction a district already has.

This law states that if a part of a school building wasn't built or rebuilt following certain rules, it won't count towards the school's total area for calculating space needs if it's only used for adult education classes during regular school hours. However, these classes must be approved by the State Department of Education.

This law says that if a school building was built using money from a specific type of tax, that building's size can't be counted when calculating how much school construction a district already has.

Each school district is permitted to allocate up to 75 square feet of space for each student attending grades 7 and 8.

This section sets the rules for calculating the maximum space a school district can allocate for its junior high schools, specifically for grades 7 through 9, or grades 7 through 10. For these grades, the allowed space in junior high schools is calculated in a specific way outlined in this section, not by other related sections. Essentially, districts can allocate up to 75 square feet per student in grades 7 and 8. For grades 9 and 10, the space is determined by a specific calculation that takes into account the total number of students in the junior high school and is guided by rules in another section. This doesn't apply to junior high schools that only have grades 7 and 8.

This law specifies the maximum building area allowed for school districts based on the number of students in grades 9 to 12. It uses a table to determine the total square footage that a school can have, depending on its student number range. For each range of attendance, additional square feet are added if the student count exceeds certain thresholds. Schools with larger student populations have a base amount of square footage plus additional square feet for each extra student unit above the specified limit.

If a unified school district in California qualifies for funding but can't receive it because of existing school buildings in its area, they can calculate building needs separately for each part of the district. This way, existing buildings in one part won't stop the rest from getting funds. The district can ask for a survey to determine these needs, and the State Superintendent of Public Instruction will check and report on what new buildings are necessary.

This law explains that a school district can get paid back, or reimbursed, for certain costs related to construction or similar projects that have been approved by the board. To qualify for payment, the construction contract must have been awarded no earlier than two years before the district applied to the board. If the district started spending money or working on the project before their application was received, the board must specifically approve payment or reimbursement by a special resolution.

For a school district to receive final funding from the state, specific conditions about district bonds must be met. The district must have bonds either at nearly full capacity or close to a specific monetary threshold. When state funds are conditionally allocated, the district needs to issue bonds sufficient to cover the project’s cost. These bond sales must be approved by the district's voters through an election. If the district later decides to authorize new bonds for projects compatible with initial funds, voter approval implies consent for applying these funds to reduce previous apportionments. Finally, any agreement or expenditure must get voter approval with a supermajority vote, ensuring transparency and responsibility in accepting and repaying state funds.

This law allows a school district that has saved money on completed projects to apply for more funding for additional facilities. The extra funding given can't be more than the amount saved and isn’t counted as extra or leftover money that needs to be reported. Also, using these savings doesn’t change the repayment schedule of any previous funds the district received.

This law says that if a school district issues bonds and they come close to their bond requirement (within $5,000), they can still receive funding allocations. This is true even if they haven't sold additional bonds, as long as they use the bond money for the intended purpose. They'll remain eligible for this funding until the next county assessment, even if they pay off some bonds or if the district's boundaries change in that time.

After an election decides on school funding through bonds, the county superintendent must quickly make a certificate confirming whether the bonds have been authorized and whether the school district can accept and use the funds. This certificate is sent to the board and the Controller. When the bonds are sold and the money is ready to be used, the superintendent certifies this again. Once these certificates are received, the funding becomes official.

This law establishes rules for when a school district can hold an election related to accepting, spending, and paying back certain funds. The election can be scheduled anytime before or after the funds are allocated, except it cannot happen within 45 days before or 45 days after a statewide election unless it coincides with that election.

This law confirms that if, before 1980, a school district was conditionally given funds for building projects, and later the local voters and authorities approved and secured these funds as required, then those funds are officially approved for use. However, no additional money authorized by bond measures can be spent without explicit approval from the appropriate board.

This law states that if a school district was given funds by the board after November 1, 1960, on the condition they would issue and sell a specific amount of bonds and a past election had two-thirds voter approval for these bonds, then all steps taken by the district to authorize, issue, sell, or exchange these bonds are confirmed and legally valid. Any bonds that have been or will be issued under this authorization are officially binding and legal obligations for the district.

This law is about how money is given out from the State School Building Aid Fund in California. It says that even if there's not enough money in the fund at the time, apportionments, or allocations, can still be made. Payments can be processed from the fund, even if it looks like it might not cover everything right then. However, money that's supposed to be moved to the General Fund or used for other legal obligations can't be spent on these apportionments.

This law says that a school district in California won't receive funding for building new schools or changing existing ones unless their plans meet all the necessary requirements. These plans also need the State Department of Education's stamp of approval before any money is given.

This law says that if a school district gets money from the federal government to cover costs already paid for building school facilities, any future repayments that the district owes will be increased by the amount of that money. However, if the federal money is being put toward new part-funded school facilities and used correctly, the repayment won't be increased.

If a school district receives funding as described in this chapter, they're required to pay back the original amount along with any interest, following the specific rules set out here.

This section of the law defines several terms used to figure out financial calculations for school districts. The 'forty-cent tax amount,' 'thirty-cent tax amount,' and 'ten-cent tax amount' refer to how much money would come in from specific tax rates based on property values, adjusted after the 1980-81 fiscal year. The 'eligible bonded debt service' is about the money needed to pay back certain debts related to previous school projects before new funding is considered. These definitions help determine how much money each grade level in a district has received from past tax apportionments.

This section is about certain school districts in California that applied for state funding for school buildings after April 30, 1977. It explains how taxes and funding terms should be calculated. There are specific tax percentages (0.20%, 0.15%, 0.05%) used to gauge how much money a district will get based on property values. The section also talks about 'bonded debt service', meaning the money a district needs to pay back on loans it took for school construction. These calculations are applied to funding requests for grades K-12 and affect how much a district can owe or earn back based on their previous financial commitments.

This law says that if a district raises more money than its basic bond requirement to pay off the principal and interest on bonds, that extra money won't count when the state calculates the district's repayment or deferment numbers.

This section outlines the responsibilities of the Director of General Services in determining and certifying the amount of eligible bonded debt service for school districts every fiscal year, by December 1st. The Director must calculate how much debt a district has for each grade level when bonds are issued for multiple grades and adjust for any extra money raised or required for the bonds. If there’s a difference between what's certified and what's actually raised from the previous year, adjustments are made to this year's debt service. Additionally, if a school district has received special funding, the Controller calculates the annual repayment needed for these funds and includes it with the district's bonded debt service.

If a school district uses money from selling local bonds for a project, the Director of General Services must factor in the amount needed to pay back the bonds when calculating the district's eligible debt payments.

This law section lays out the process for a school district in California that hasn't sold bonds in two years and doesn't qualify for deferment. If the district issued bonds to get funding but didn't account for them in its bond budget, the Director of General Services will calculate what needs to be raised through taxes in the next year. This amount will then be certified to the Controller to handle the debt. This rule has been in effect since the 1972-73 fiscal year.

Every year by January 1st, the Controller needs to calculate certain tax amounts for each grade level in a school district based on previous years' apportionments. Specifically, these amounts are 40 cents, 30 cents, and 10 cents for each school grade.

Each year by January 1st, the Controller calculates whether school districts owe any money to the state based on their debt and tax amounts. If a district's eligible debt service for a grade level is higher than what they collect from a 40-cent tax, they owe nothing. But if they collect more than they owe, the extra amount must be repaid to the state. If their debt service is lower than a 10-cent tax, they only repay the difference up to a 30-cent tax equivalent. The total owed is the combined amount for all grade levels.

Whenever an extra amount of eligible debt is identified by the Director of General Services, the Controller must recalculate the yearly repayment amount. Then, they need to inform specific local officials about this updated amount before local taxes are set. These officials include the board of supervisors, the school district's governing board, the county auditor, and the county superintendent of schools.

This law explains how funding, called an apportionment, for school district projects that include a multipurpose room is handled. The board needs to specify how much of the funding is for the multipurpose room. If a district gets this funding, they have to repay that specific portion, with interest, while also making regular payments on other funding. Deductions will continue yearly until the multipurpose room portion is fully repaid or for an extra 10 years, whichever comes first. After 40 years, if there's still money owed, it gets canceled, and the state transfers full ownership of the facility to the district.

This law says that each year, a school district must repay at least enough money to cover the state's costs for paying off the principal and interest on any debts it took on to fund the district's projects.

This law states that no matter how many funding allocations a school grade level receives, the total amount that must be paid back in one fiscal year cannot be more than what would be calculated using another set of specific rules. This ensures a cap on annual repayments, even if multiple allocations are involved.

In the year after the Controller figures out how much each school district owes back, they will evenly spread out this repayment deduction from the money the districts receive in February through May from the State School Fund. The deducted money is then added to the State School Building Aid Fund. It's important to note that money in this fund is only for transferring to the General Fund as detailed in another section.

This law allows certain school districts in California to pay back only half of their usual annual debt related to school facilities if voters in that district approve a local bond for building or fixing up schools. The State Allocation Board must certify that the district qualifies, and the school district must ask in writing to benefit from this reduction.

This law explains what happens when a school district must refund taxes because it mistakenly taxed property that should have been tax-exempt. If the property makes up 1% or more of the district's taxable value, the state will adjust the district's state funding for the next financial year to account for the refund. Essentially, the state's financial support to the district gets reduced by the amount that should have been exempt from taxation in the previous year.

This section explains how certain tax computations and repayments should be handled for school districts in California. If a school district asks, the state will adjust how it calculates tax amounts based on changes in property values when some tax revenues have been held back or "impounded." The law talks about how much to use in these calculations, especially if property values change more than specified percentages. If tax revenues that were previously withheld are released later, those adjustments need to be reflected in future payments to the school districts. This is to make sure that previous reductions are corrected. Additionally, it clarifies that certain deductions and repayments should be adjusted if needed.

This law is about how the state manages the repayment of money given to a school district. The Controller will deduct amounts from the district's funds each year until the principal loan amount and any interest are paid back. However, no interest will be charged after 25 years from when the loan became final, and after 30 years, any remaining debt is canceled and the state can't demand repayment. If there's any annual repayment amount calculated before the debt is canceled but hasn't been collected yet, the Controller will still take that from the district's funds afterwards. This statute also clarifies that certain grade levels won’t be used in repayment calculations after the debt is canceled.

This section allows California school districts to request a deferment of their annual repayment obligations. If they file a request by June 30 of a fiscal year, they may postpone paying all or part of what they owe next year if they're eligible. Once requested, the deferment applies yearly until the district asks to stop it. The deferment amount is based on taxes needed to cover certain debts, and schools pay what’s due later. If there's still money owed after 30 years, they get 10 more years to repay before the debt is canceled. Various officials like the Controller and county auditors play roles in determining and certifying amounts.

This law determines how a unified school district in California calculates the amount of an annual repayment that can be deferred. It sets the calculation method based on a specific tax rate on the assessed value of property in the district. This rate was ninety cents per one hundred dollars of assessed value but changed to 0.225% of the property's full value starting with the 1981-82 fiscal year.

This section describes how certain school districts in California can defer their annual debt repayments on funds they received for acquiring property. It applies to districts that have either taken on responsibilities from another district or have had state-aided territory transferred to them. To defer repayment, districts must file a request with the Controller by June 30th, and if eligible, they'll be allowed to delay payments based on a calculation comparing different tax amounts. These amounts include taxes needed to pay off previous debts and taxes needed for new apportionments. The Controller is responsible for notifying relevant parties about deferments, and if any repayments remain unpaid after 30 years, there are provisions for possible cancellation after additional time.

This law talks about the financial rules for a new unified school district that was formed between March 1, 1979, and December 1, 1979, from an existing elementary school district and a high school district. If these schools merged during that time, starting from July 1, 1980, they're allowed to postpone repaying their debts according to certain rules. The amount they owe is calculated based on two main parts: the part of the high school debt they are responsible for and some specific eligible debt from the high school.

If the unpaid portion of a financial apportionment is canceled, the Controller must inform the board. Then, the board will give the district ownership of any sites, equipment, and buildings that were paid for by that funding, on behalf of the state.

This law requires the Controller to keep track of how much money each school district owes the state for funds given based on grade level. The Controller calculates interest on these amounts from when payments are made until July 1st of the next fiscal year. After that, interest is added to the principal amount owed until it's fully paid off or no more interest accumulates. If a school owes money for building assistance, the interest calculation assumes annual payments are made on July 1st.

Each fiscal year, when the state's Controller calculates how much money will be deducted from a school district's funding for the next year, they must inform both the district's governing board and the local county auditor about the deduction amount.

If a school district in California is going to have money withheld from its state funding, the county's board of supervisors must levy a special tax to make up for this shortfall. This tax is collected at the same time as other county taxes, and once collected, it is deposited into a special account called the Tax Override Fund for that district.

This section says that the board can decide how money it gives or requires from districts should be spent on a project. This decision is final for the district's governing board unless the board decides to change it. Also, the board can ask districts to use leftover funds set aside for furniture, equipment, or other lawful purposes to help pay for projects. If needed, the board or the Director of General Services can approve changes in how these funds are used.

This law says that if the board doesn't get the necessary certificates from the county superintendent of schools within nine months of a conditional funding promise, the funding promise will be canceled. The board then informs the Controller, who is responsible for managing state funds. When a final funding decision is made, the board certifies it to the Controller, who ensures the county treasurer gets the funds from the State School Building Aid Fund. This transaction follows specific rules but is not affected by some general finance regulations.

This law establishes a special fund in each county for every school district called the state school building fund. Any money received for a school district under this chapter needs to be deposited into that fund by the county treasurer in the exact amount designated by the board.

This law explains that any interest earned from state school construction bond money, which is managed by a county treasurer for a school district, should be put into a specific fund for school buildings. However, interest from before the 1964–65 fiscal year that was placed in the school's general fund will stay there and belongs to the general fund.

This law requires school districts that receive funds for a specific building project to transfer the required amount from other district funds into the district's state school building fund to ensure the project is fully funded.

This law establishes a special fund called the State School Building Aid Fund. The money in this fund, which can come from any source, is set aside for continual use without needing to reauthorize it each fiscal year. It's used specifically for distributing financial help according to the rules set in this section.

This law states that the board must allocate funds from the State School Building Aid Fund to the Director of General Services. These funds should be the amount needed to give the necessary assistance mentioned in another section of the Government Code, specifically Section 15504.

This law requires school districts to use funds provided by the state specifically for school buildings exactly how they were intended, and not for any other purposes. The districts also need to report on how they spend this money as required by the state's governing board and the Controller.

This law requires the Controller to audit the financial records of counties and school districts that receive funding to ensure the money is spent correctly and as authorized.

This section deals with what happens if a school district spends money in a way that's not allowed or spends more than a project's final cost. The Controller informs various officials and orders the district to pay back that money to the State Treasury. The money goes back into a fund for school building aid. If a district can't pay because it would harm essential services, they may be allowed to pay over three years with interest. If they miss payments, the Controller will deduct the amount from their state funding. Both the district and the county treasurer must follow these instructions, and the Controller is responsible for making sure the payments are collected.

This law explains how a school district in California must handle excess funding it received for construction. If a school district gets more money than it's supposed to for construction purposes and this is discovered, they have to pay back the extra amount. This payback should be done in equal payments over 20 years, including interest. The interest rate is the same as what was agreed upon for the construction funding. However, the district can choose to pay off the remaining balance, plus interest, before the 20 years are up.

This law covers situations where a school district in California received funding between April and July 1963 based on projected student enrollment numbers. If it turns out after approving the application that the actual student numbers are lower than expected, the funding given is still valid, but the district has to repay any portion given for overestimated students. This repayment must be completed over 20 years and carries interest. However, if actual enrollment eventually matches the projections and the overestimate was accidental, the district might not need to continue repayments for the extra funds. This means they only repay what they actually needed based on the original enrollment numbers.

This law allows the State Allocation Board to give financial help to a school district that leased land and buildings for new administrative facilities during a specific period in 1954. To qualify, the district must otherwise be eligible for such financial assistance, the Department of Education must approve that the new facilities are needed, and the financial deal must make good economic sense and be considered sound financial practice.

This law explains how school districts in California can use state funds they receive. Once they get the money, they have at least one year and no more than three years to spend it, as decided by the school district's governing board. If there's any money left unspent after the time is up, it must be returned to the state's treasury. However, if there's a special resolution that allows more flexibility, this time limit might not apply. The school district and county treasurer are responsible for returning unused funds to the state, and the Controller enforces these rules.

This section outlines what happens when a school district gets state money to buy or improve property and then decides to sell, lease, or otherwise get rid of that property within five years. If they do this without the state's approval, they might have to pay back the money. The state can also ask for the money back if the property isn't used for its intended purpose within a set period. If the property is sold, the money from the sale is used to pay back the state. School districts need to work with the state when deciding to sell the property or make changes. They must pay any owed money back to the state's school fund. If there are existing buildings on the purchased property, the state can require them to be sold as part of the deal. If there are delays in using the property because of the state, the repayment period might be extended. Finally, the state has strict processes for managing these transactions and ensuring compliance.
