Article 4Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 and National Defense Education Act of 1958
Section § 12030
This part of California's education code states that California accepts and agrees to follow the rules and use the funds from two major federal education laws. These laws are aimed at improving education to meet important national needs. The first is the National Defense Education Act of 1958, which focuses on strengthening education, and the second is the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, as updated by the Every Student Succeeds Act, which seeks to improve education in primary and secondary schools across the United States.
Section § 12031
Section § 12032
This law designates the state board as the agency responsible for implementing federal education laws. The board has the authority to create and update state educational plans and work alongside the U.S. government to meet federal guidelines.
Section § 12033
This law says that the State Treasurer is responsible for holding and managing any money that California gets from the U.S. federal government or its agencies under certain federal acts.
Section § 12034
This law explains how the state handles money received from certain federal programs. The State Treasurer is responsible for paying out these funds, but only when the State Controller issues a warrant based on a request from the State Board of Education. These funds must be used according to the federal program's guidelines.
Section § 12035
This law allows the heads of community colleges and the State Nautical School in California to set up and manage student loan funds according to the National Defense Education Act of 1958. Money designated for student loans at the State Nautical School can be taken from the State Treasury and put into a trust account for making loans to students, following specific state financial procedures.
Section § 12036
This law allows the state of California to provide financial support to student loan funds at public colleges and universities. Specifically, the state will contribute money equal to at least one-ninth of what the federal government provides under the National Defense Education Act of 1958. This assistance is aimed at helping needy students access higher education at these public institutions.
