This section states that up to $40 million from the bonds approved under the State School Building Aid Bond Law of 1966 can be used according to the rules in this article.

This law states that the government believes it's important to help school districts repair or replace school buildings that aren't safe. Since educating children is a state responsibility, ensuring their physical safety at school is a key part of that responsibility.

This section defines specific terms used in an article related to school facilities. 'Board' refers to the State Allocation Board, 'Director' is the Director of Education, and 'District' means any type of school district. A 'Project' involves efforts to make school buildings safer, while 'Apportionment' refers to the funds or costs involved, including those a district must contribute. Lastly, an 'Attendance center' is the specific school location within a district.

This law states that the State Allocation Board is in charge of overseeing the rules in this article. It also specifies that the Director of General Services will help the board as needed.

This law section gives additional duties to the board overseeing certain educational functions. The board is responsible for setting qualifications to determine which school districts can receive funding. They must also create and enforce procedures, policies, and regulations for managing and spending these funds effectively.

This law directs the board to create rules that prioritize funding for schools in need of rebuilding or replacing their facilities. The priority is based on factors like the age and safety of current buildings, the severity of overcrowding, and the population density in the school's area. Essentially, funds should go to the districts that need them the most.

This law outlines how a school district in California must handle the disposal of property being replaced with funds provided by the state. When a property is replaced, the board gives specific instructions on how to dispose of the old property, and following these instructions is necessary to receive the funds. The money made from selling the old property is used to lower the amount of money the state contributes to the project. If needed, the school district might have to transfer ownership of the property to the state, which will sell it and use the proceeds to reduce the school's funding. The school district must do whatever the board requires to ensure the property is disposed of properly.

This law allows funding from a specific bond authorization to be used for rebuilding or replacing old school buildings or high school dormitories that are unsafe. This applies to buildings not updated to certain safety standards, or structures that were once military facilities. Dormitory funds are granted if students can't realistically commute to school daily.

This law allows funds from certain bonds to be used for replacing school buildings in Sonoma County that were severely damaged by an earthquake after September 30, 1969. The buildings must have been demolished for safety reasons, but not yet rebuilt as permanent structures.

This law allows funding to be provided to a school district specifically for replacing an old, unsafe building that was initially a high school, even if it later became an elementary school. This is possible if the building continued to be used until 1971 when students were moved to temporary structures. This is an exception to the usual rules due to specific historical circumstances.

This law allows a school district to apply for funds from the State School Building Aid Fund to help finance their projects. After the school district submits an application, the Director of General Services reviews it and provides recommendations. The board then decides whether to approve, partially approve, or reject it. If approved, the board allocates the requested funds, which can be given in installments and are called conditional apportionments. These funds become final only if a favorable vote occurs and the county superintendent confirms that the district has enough additional funds to cover the project costs. If the necessary certification isn’t received within nine months, the conditional apportionment is cancelled. Final payment details are coordinated with the Controller and Treasurer.

If a school district applies for funds from the State School Building Aid Fund, the board can approve the full application or parts of it and allocate funds accordingly. These allocations are conditional, and the board can release additional funds once the district is ready to proceed with more parts of the project. If the actual costs end up being higher than initially estimated, the board can provide extra funds even if it means going over the original approved amount. However, approving an application doesn't mean the board is guaranteeing that funds will be given.

This law explains how the amount of new building space that can be allocated to replace unsafe school buildings is calculated. The calculations are based on regulations set by the board and depend on the number of students regularly attending the old buildings, as well as certain size limits from other sections. Importantly, the new building can't have more space than the unsafe buildings it's replacing. Everything must be measured in a consistent way decided by the board.

This law says that before a school district can receive and use certain funds, they must first have an election where the district's voters agree to accept, use, and pay back at least the amount given. This election can happen before or after they get the funds, but if voters don't approve it within nine months, the funding agreement is canceled. Even if an election was held earlier under a different section, it can still count as long as the district doesn't qualify for funds under other specific sections.

This law says that if a school district doesn't meet all the requirements detailed in the California Education Code for building school facilities, then it won't receive funding for construction or renovations. Basically, the district must follow the rules completely in their building plans to get financial support.

This law explains that payments to a school district, whether directly or through reimbursement, should align with what's been previously agreed upon. If a school spends money on approved projects after the law took effect, they can get reimbursed. However, if the district started or spent money on a project before the board approved their application, they can only get reimbursed if the board gives special permission.

This law lays out how school districts in California get money from the State School Building Aid Fund. It starts by looking at the school district's assessed property value per student and compares it to the state average. This comparison helps calculate a 'state matching ratio,' which determines how much funding the school can get. The funding can cover anywhere from 25% to 80% of a project's costs. Once final costs of the project are audited, the funding is adjusted.

If there's no state money available for a school project, the State Allocation Board can approve the project by only allocating one dollar. In this case, the local school district can fund the project using a special tax. This tax can be twenty cents per hundred dollars of property value before the 1980-81 fiscal year, and changes to 0.05 percent of the full value starting in the 1981-82 fiscal year.

This law allows school districts to raise local money to match state funding for projects. They can do this by issuing school bonds, collecting taxes, or using other available funds meant for building and maintenance purposes. Any increase in tax rates must be used specifically for projects that have already been approved for state assistance.

A school district in California can use extra money it has for building projects to add more facilities to a school, beyond what's in the approved plan, without facing any penalties.

This law says that if a school district in California receives money from specific fund chapters to help pay for a project, and it uses proceeds from issued bonds to cover its portion of the project's cost, then the amount from these bonds will count as acceptable debt when calculating financial obligations as outlined by certain sections. In other words, the district can use bond money to match project costs, and it will count positively in official financial assessments.

This section explains how the interest rates for certain funds given out are set. Each year on June 30, the board, with input from the Director of General Services, sets the interest rate. This rate applies to the funds given out in the upcoming fiscal year, from July 1 to June 30. The interest for these funds is calculated yearly, also on June 30.

School districts that receive funds from the state under this law must pay back the principal amount plus interest in 20 equal annual payments. The first payment kicks in two years after getting the funds. Before the 1980-81 fiscal year, if this annual payment exceeds a certain amount based on property valuation, it is adjusted down to that limit. From the 1981-82 fiscal year onwards, a new percentage of full property value is used to determine the cap. The State Controller decides each district's repayment amount every January for the following fiscal year, following specific procedures.

This law states that the Marysville Joint Unified School District has to repay any funds allocated to it under a specific section using a tax rate of 17.5 cents per $100 of assessed property value. This repayment method will continue until the rate needed for maximum repayment is lower than 17.5 cents for every $100 of property value. Once everything the district owes, including interest but minus certain payments, is fully repaid, this rule will no longer apply.

This law addresses a situation where a school district in California has already collected the maximum amount of funds allowed under an old law for a project but still doesn't have enough to meet the required matching funds. If they filed before January 1, 1974, they can apply to get additional state assistance. The state can then adjust how much financial help they provide so that the project can be completed with any other available funding sources. The law sets a limit of $45 million for increasing this kind of state support, coming from two sources: $30 million already set aside from a 1972 fund and an additional $15 million from leftover bond funds from 1966.

This law states that if there was less than $30 million allocated by January 1, 1973, under the previous section, the remaining funds should be given as grants to certain school districts with the most need. These grants can only go to districts that wouldn’t qualify under the original rules if they applied the required tax rate and must have applied by January 1, 1973, receiving their allocation by February 28, 1973.

This law allows school districts in California that don't have enough matching funds for specific projects to apply for state approval to proceed with those projects. To qualify, these districts must impose a local tax that raises necessary funds, with specific rules about the rate of the tax for different fiscal years. Additionally, if these districts are ineligible for certain grants, the state may support their projects by adjusting the amount of state assistance so that essential facilities can be built. There's a cap on how much bond money can be used under this section to augment existing funds.

This section allows a school district that doesn't have enough matching funds for a project to apply for funding if they commit to levying a specific tax rate in 1975-76 and meet certain conditions. Specifically, they must have already levied taxes in 1973-74 and 1974-75 at specified rates and sold their school facilities to a county before June 1972 but continued using them until then.

This law allows school districts that have already issued at least $37 million in bonds to replace unsafe buildings, but don't have enough matching funds for certain projects, to apply for approval based on specific conditions. The district must have taxed $0.20 per $100 of assessed value during the fiscal years 1974-1977, and use that entire tax revenue as local matching funds. The board can then adjust the state's contribution to help build necessary facilities. However, only up to $6 million from bond sales can be allocated for this purpose.

This law allows the State Allocation Board to give up to $700,000 to the Marysville Joint Unified School District to fix Lindhurst High School, which might have been built incorrectly and doesn't meet earthquake safety standards. If the district gets any money from insurance or legal actions because of these issues, they have to pay it back to the board to reduce the amount given.

This section states that certain other sections (16006, 16017, 16021, 16066, 16088, 16091, and 16093 to 16100) should generally apply when managing this part of the law. However, if the board decides that the context of this part requires different rules, then adjustments can be made.

This law allows a school board to require a school district to sell or otherwise get rid of buildings on a property if the state gave them money to buy that land. If the school district sells, leases, or gets rid of the land or buildings, they must pay back part of the money from that sale to the state, based on how much the state invested in the project.

This law states that when figuring out how school building aid impacts restructured school districts, certain rules from a specific part of the law will be used.

If, before 1980, a school district in California applied for conditional funding, and voters in that district approved it via a special election, then various officials—notably, the county superintendent—must certify certain financial and procedural milestones for the funding to be finalized and confirmed. Once this process is followed, the previously conditional funding is officially approved and can be spent according to specific rules. However, no bond act funds can be used without clear permission from the designated board.

This law says that if a school district can host students in continuous school programs because their regular schools are in bad shape, they can get state funds to help change current buildings to make this happen. The State Department of Education must check and recommend these costs, and they can be covered by remaining funds from a specific bond authorization from 1966.
