Section § 100820
This law describes how the money from selling certain bonds should be used for school facilities in California. Here's how the funds are divided: $5.26 billion is for building new school facilities, including charter schools and potentially other specified uses if a certain voter measure doesn't pass. $2.25 billion is aimed at modernizing existing school facilities. $2.44 billion is allocated for critically overcrowded schools, while $50 million is reserved for joint-use projects like collaborations between schools and communities.
Schools can use modernization funds for things like installing air conditioning, enhancing security, dealing with hazardous materials like asbestos, and replacing roofs. The law also talks about adjusting these funding amounts in the future, but any changes require either a two-thirds vote from the legislature or voter approval. Finally, up to $20 million can be used for energy conservation, and funds can also be used to acquire school facilities.
