A specified $2,012,035,000 of bond proceeds must be deposited into the State School Building Lease-Purchase Fund. Money in the State School Building Lease-Purchase Fund must be used to provide aid and reimburse specified education and bond-expense funds. An agreement under Section 10000 must allow certain California State University and district teaching employees to take on each other’s duties.

(d) (1) Interest on the notes may be payable from proceeds of the sale of bonds in anticipation of which the notes are issued, including any premium received on the sale of those bonds. (2) Interest on the notes may be paid from a property tax levied for that purpose under the following conditions: (A) A resolution of the governing board of the school district or community college district authorizes the levying of the tax. The tax for payment of the interest on the notes is a tax authorized by law for payment of the bonds in anticipation of which the notes are issued. (B) The principal amount of the notes does not exceed the remaining principal amount of authorized but unissued bonds. (3) The notes may be issued only if the tax rate levied to pay interest on the notes would not cause the school district or community college district to exceed any of the limitations set forth in Section 15268 or 15270, as applicable. (e) The original issuance of notes and any renewal of notes may be in the form of commercial paper notes. Each issuance of commercial paper notes to repay outstanding notes shall be deemed to be a renewal of notes subject only to the requirements of this section. (Amended by Stats. 2012, Ch. 715, Sec. 1.

In the event of the unification of two or more school districts subsequent to the 1987–88 fiscal year, the assessed value of all unitary and operating nonunitary property of the unified district shall be deemed to be the total of the assessed value of the taxable property of each of the unifying districts as that assessed value would be determined under Section 15268. (e) For the purposes of this article, “general obligation bonds,” as that term is used in Section 18 of Article XVI of the California Constitution, means bonds of a school district or community college district the repayment of which is provided for by this chapter and Chapter 1 (commencing with Section 15100) of Part 10, and includes bonds of a school facilities improvement district the repayment of which is provided for by this chapter and Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 15300).

General Provisions [15700 - 15754] ( Article 1 added by Stats. 1996, Ch. 277, Sec. 2. ) ## 15704. The board by the adoption of rules shall give priority in allocating funds to districts to those districts where the children will benefit most from additional schoolhouse facilities. This priority shall be based on acuteness of overcrowding, on sudden growth in attendance, on amount of local tax funds expended for housing of a character within the purposes of this chapter, and on the time the district’s application has been ready for allotment. The board may make exceptions when it determines that it will be for the benefit of the children affected. In adopting rules the board may provide for the granting of priority points to govern the allocation according to the following schedule: (a) Two priority points may be granted for each percent of the latest computed average daily attendance of the district that is inadequately housed. The number of inadequately housed pupils is the latest computed average daily attendance of the district less the sum of both of the following: (1) Any classrooms up to a total of two, multiplied by 25. (2) Any classrooms in excess of two, multiplied by 33. The term “classrooms” for the purposes of this computation shall mean any school classrooms, temporary and permanent, determined by the State Department of Education to be safely usable. (b) One priority point may be granted for each 5 percent of the latest computed average daily attendance of the district that represents an increase over the average daily attendance for the fifth preceding school year. (c) One point of priority may be granted for each one-twentieth of 1 percent of the assessed valuation of the district, collected in taxes and expended for school housing within the scope of this chapter since July 1, 1944. Expenditure of the proceeds of the sale of bonds shall not be counted but expenditure for interest and retirement of bonds shall be counted. (d) Not more than one point of priority shall be allowed for each calendar month that the completed application of the district has awaited funds. If any computation of priority points made under this section results in a fraction of a point, that fraction shall be disregarded and the number of priority points shall be taken as the next lowest whole number. These priorities shall be recomputed at least semiannually when funds are available for allocation, on the respective periods of time next preceding the date of computation. The State Department of Education shall assist and cooperate with the board in determining priority ratings. (Repealed and added by Stats. 1996, Ch. 277, Sec. 2. Effective January 1, 1997.

General Provisions [15700 - 15754] ( Article 1 added by Stats. 1996, Ch. 277, Sec. 2. ) ## 15710. Where a district is required by a contract entered into between itself and a general construction contractor to obtain, at its own expense, insurance covering risks incurred during any construction for which an apportionment has been made, the cost thereof may be paid directly to said district out of the Public School Building Loan Fund. It is the intent and purpose of this section to provide for reimbursement to school districts for any builders’ risk insurance that may have been furnished and paid for by the districts in connection with approved apportionments from the Public School Building Loan Fund from the time of the effective date of Chapter 1389 of the Statutes of 1949. The Legislature in adopting this section expressly recognizes that eligible school districts in making provision for builders’ risk insurance during the period of construction of new buildings has provided a saving for the taxpayers of the district, and also has reduced the amount which otherwise would have been paid out of the Public School Building Loan Fund to the district if the cost of the builders’ risk insurance had been borne by the contractor with the district. For this reason the Legislature hereby finds, determines, and declares that the adoption of this section having an effect retroactive to the effective date of Chapter 1389 of the Statutes of 1949 is therefore lawful, proper, and represents the saving of public funds for a lawful and public purpose. The Controller of the State of California is hereby authorized and directed to cancel and annul any claims or demands against the school district arising out of, or in any way connected with, claims for reimbursement from the school districts to the Public School Building Loan Fund arising out of the direct purchase of builders’ risk insurance on any construction by any school district under an approved application by the board.

The board shall immediately request the State Department of Education to, and the department shall, review the project for which apportionment was made.

The board shall review the project and revise the project in any manner that it deems necessary, subject to the provisions of Section 15727, and make any changes in the purposes for which the apportionment may be expended that it deems necessary. The cost of the project as revised by the board shall be computed in the manner prescribed by Section 15713 and the excess, if any, of the amount theretofore apportioned to the district over the computed cost of the revised project shall be deducted by the board from the apportionment made to the district. The board shall give notice of its action, in writing, to the Controller, the governing board of the district, and the county auditor and the county treasurer having jurisdiction over the public school building fund of the district. If the amount of the excess, or any portion thereof, has not been paid to the district, the excess, or portion thereof, shall be made available for apportionment to other districts. If the excess, or portion thereof, has been paid to the district, it shall not be encumbered or expended by the district and shall become due and payable to the State of California. The governing board of the district and the county treasurer shall pay that amount to the Treasurer, out of the funds, and in the manner specified in Section 15752. The payment shall, on order of the Controller, be deposited in the Public School Building Loan Fund in the State Treasury. It shall be the duty of the governing body and county treasurer to make the payments to the Treasurer as provided in this section, and it shall be the duty of the Controller to enforce the collection on behalf of the state. This section does not authorize the board to increase any apportionment made to a district. (Repealed and added by Stats. 1996, Ch. 277, Sec. 2. Effective January 1, 1997. Operative January 1, 1998.)

Each school district which desires an apportionment for a grade level maintained by it, shall submit through its governing board to the board an application therefor in any form and number of copies that the board shall prescribe. Each copy of the application shall be accompanied by a statement of the estimated cost of the project certified by an architect or structural engineer, and by layout plans showing the entire project for which the district desires an apportionment. Estimates of cost for new construction appearing in an application shall not exceed typical current costs of comparable new construction by school districts in the same area not receiving or not eligible for apportionment under this chapter, as determined by the Director of General Services, or if there has been no new construction by districts in the area, the estimates of cost shall not exceed the reasonable current cost of similar construction in the area as determined by the Director of General Services. Immediately upon receipt of an application in the prescribed form accompanied by the required estimate of cost, a copy thereof shall be transmitted by the board to the director and to the Director of General Services. A district may at any time amend or supplement its application. The Director of General Services shall determine the school district’s financial ability to meet all or a portion of the cost of the project and the amount which the district can contribute toward the cost of the project out of its available funds, and shall submit his report thereon to the board. The directors shall as promptly as possible prepare a report and recommendation with respect to the application and refer the application, report, and recommendation to the Director of General Services, who shall, if he or she finds the documents to be in proper form and otherwise sufficient, refer them to the board. If the Director of General Services finds the documents to be lacking in any respect as to any matter which is subject to the jurisdiction or approval of the director or State Department of Education, he or she shall refer them to the director who shall take any action that may be necessary. The board shall, subject to the provisions of this chapter approve or reject each application referred to it by the Director of General Services. If the board approves of the application, either in whole or in part, it shall, by a resolution adopted by it, apportion to the district from the Public School Building Loan Fund the amount applied for, or any portion thereof that the board may deem appropriate. However, it may order that the apportionment or any part thereof shall be paid in progressive installments at the times and under the conditions that it may then prescribe. This shall be known as a conditional apportionment and shall become final only if the vote provided for in Section 15721 is favorable and if bonds are authorized and sold in the amounts prescribed by the board, and the proceeds of the bonds sold earmarked for the project as approved. The conditional apportionment shall remain effective for a period of nine months from the date of the resolution of the board, and if it does not become a final apportionment by the date, it shall become void and the money so apportioned shall become again available for apportionment pursuant to this chapter. The board may for any good cause that it shall determine, reduce the amount of, or modify any provisions relating to, any contribution required of a district under the terms of an apportionment, other than any contribution required of the district under Section 15721 from the sale of bonds. However, the board may not, without the consent of the district, increase the amount of any district contribution under the terms of an apportionment, in the absence of mistake arising from any source, or misrepresentation, concealment, or omission, on the part of the district, intentional or otherwise. The provisions of this paragraph shall be applicable to apportionments heretofore or hereafter made. (Repealed and added by Stats. 1996, Ch. 277, Sec. 2. Effective January 1, 1997.

The sum of two million dollars ($2,000,000) was by Chapter 13 of the Statutes of 1952 (First Extraordinary Session) made available from the Public School Building Loan Fund for apportionment by the board pursuant to this chapter, except as otherwise provided by this section and to be transferred by the Controller as needed into a separate account in the State School Building Fund which was created in the State Treasury. Apportionments made under this section shall be available as grants to those school districts to which apportionments have been made under this chapter, prior to April 1, 1952, and only for the amounts thereof as are in excess of the apportionments the voters of the districts voted to accept and repay under Sections 15721, 15722, and 15723. If and when the electors of districts receiving apportionments under this section, vote to accept and repay additional amounts under Sections 15721, 15722, and 15723, the board may make apportionments under other sections of this chapter in substitution in whole or in part of the grants made under this section. In the event the electors of the district fail to vote to accept and repay the additional amounts or if apportionments covering the amounts are not made under other sections of this chapter, beginning in September 1953, and annually for nine years thereafter, apportionments made to the districts from the State School Fund under Sections 46304, 46305, and 92 or 41050, Sections 41330 to 41343, inclusive, and Sections 41600 to 41972, inclusive, or any successor thereof, shall be reduced by an amount equivalent to one-tenth of the amount apportioned under this section. This section shall not be applied so as to reduce any average daily attendance apportionment below the constitutional minimum. During the year beginning September 1953, and each year thereafter in which the Controller determines that the apportionment of any district is to be reduced as herein provided, he or she shall deduct the total amount of the annual repayment of each district in equal amounts from each installment of the apportionments made to the district. The amount deducted shall, on order of the Controller, be transferred from the State School Building Fund to the General Fund at the time and for the purpose provided in Section 15903. Notwithstanding any other law, taxes in the districts shall be increased sufficiently to offset the amounts by which the average daily attendance apportionments are reduced under this section. The tax increases shall be made in the manner prescribed under Section 15742 of this chapter. Any amounts made available by this section which are not apportioned by June 30, 1953, and any recovery by substitution of apportionments made in accordance with this section shall be transferred to the Public School Building Loan Fund.

The units shall be known as “eligible attendance units.” The board shall then determine an “eligible facilities cost” by multiplying the number of the eligible attendance units by the average cost of housing elementary or high school pupils as set forth in the latest report to the Legislature required under Section 16098. In any fiscal year in which the school district is, in the judgment of the board, operating sufficient year-round classes to provide housing for the eligible attendance units, the Director of General Services shall add to the amount which he or she is required to certify to the Controller under Section 15730 an amount equal to one-twentieth of such eligible facilities costs.

(c) The amount of annual repayment and deduction, increased or reduced as required by this section, shall be the amount deducted by the Controller for the purposes of Sections 15735, 15741, and 15742 for the fiscal year in which the increase or reduction occurs.

School Housing Aid for Reorganized Districts [15780 - 15795] ( Article 2 added by Stats. 1996, Ch. 277, Sec. 2. ) ## 15790. Whenever, subsequent to the date on which a conditional apportionment made to a state-aided district becomes final, less than all of such district is included in another district, the Director of General Services shall determine what portion of the apportionment was expended or will be expended for property acquired or to be acquired by the acquiring district. Any determination made by the Director of General Services under this section may be redetermined by him or her, from time to time, until the project for which the apportionment was made has been completed, and the final cost thereof determined and the final determination has been made pursuant to the final cost. The Director of General Services shall promptly notify the Controller, the governing board of the state-aided district and of the acquiring district, the superintendent of schools, the auditor, and the treasurer of the counties having jurisdiction over said districts of each determination and redetermination made by him or her under this section. No redetermination shall be retroactive nor affect the liability of any school district for any payment or annual repayment, or portion thereof, previously made by or on behalf of such district to the state under the provisions of this chapter. On and after the date of the change of boundaries, the acquiring district succeeds to and is vested with all of the duties, powers, purposes, jurisdiction, and responsibilities of the state-aided district with respect to that portion of the apportionment which the Director of General Services has determined or redetermined under this section was expended, or will be expended, for property acquired or to be acquired by the acquiring district, and the unexpended part of the portion of the apportionment in the public school building fund of the state-aided district shall be transferred to the public school building fund of the acquiring district. In addition, and at the same time, the acquiring district shall become liable for the payment to the state of that portion of the annual repayment and all other payments due the state under the provisions of this chapter with respect to that portion of the apportionment which the Director of General Services has determined or redetermined was expended, or will be expended for property acquired, or to be acquired by the acquiring district, or, in the event a portion of the apportionment is a lower percentage of the apportionment than the percentage that the assessed valuation in the territory of the state-aided district which was transferred to the acquiring district is of the total assessed valuation of the state-aided district immediately preceding the effective date of the transfer, the acquiring district shall become liable for the payment to the state of that percentage of the annual repayment and all other repayments due to the state under provisions of this chapter with respect to the apportionment which is equal to the percentage of assessed valuation in the territory transferred to the acquiring district. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the liability of the acquiring district for the repayment of any portion of the apportionment made to the state-aided district shall not exceed the product of the highest percentage referred to above (whether relating to assessed valuation or to the portion of the apportionment expended in the property acquired), multiplied by the balance due on the apportionment made to the state-aided district at the time of the withdrawal on the effective date specified in Section 4064 of the territory referred to. The limited liability is hereinafter referred to as “the maximum.” It is the intent of the Legislature that the maximum shall be applied by the Controller, both retroactively and prospectively, provided that as a result of the application (1) no cash refund shall be made to any district; (2) in the event any district has, in the past, paid an amount greater than the maximum, assuming this paragraph had been in effect at that time, the excess shall be credited by the Controller against any apportionment balances for which said district is or may hereafter become liable; and (3) the Controller shall make retroactively any adjustments in the amounts due from other districts by virtue of any adjustments made under (2) above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any computations required to be made pursuant to this paragraph shall not be reflected in any changes in deductions required to be made pursuant to Section 15735 prior to January 1, 1966. If any subsection, clause, sentence of phrase of this section is for any reason held to be unconstitutional such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this section.

SCHOOL BONDS [15100 - 17204] ( Part 10 repealed and added by Stats. 1996, Ch. 277, Sec. 2. ) ## CHAPTER 4. State School Building Aid Law, 1949 [15700 - 15795] ( Chapter 4 added by Stats. 1996, Ch. 277, Sec. 2. ) ## ARTICLE 2. School Housing Aid for Reorganized Districts [15780 - 15795] ( Article 2 added by Stats. 1996, Ch. 277, Sec. 2. ) ## 15792. Whenever, subsequent to the date on which a conditional apportionment becomes final, territory is withdrawn from a state-aided district and no portion of the apportionment was expended for school property acquired by the acquiring district: (1) If the acquiring district is a state-aided district, the assessed valuation in the territory acquired shall be included in determining assessed valuation of the property in the acquiring district, and shall thereafter be excluded in determining assessed valuation of the property in the state-aided district, for purposes of the computations under Sections 15729 to 15733, inclusive; (2) If the acquiring district is not a state-aided district, the State Controller shall determine the percentage relationship, at the time of the withdrawal, between (a) the assessed valuation in the territory acquired, together with the current assessed valuation in all other territory theretofore acquired by the acquiring district from the state-aided district since the date of its first conditional apportionment under this chapter, and (b) the current assessed valuation of the state-aided district as it was territorially constituted on the latter date. If the percentage of assessed valuation in acquired territory is, in the aggregate, less than 10 percent, the assessed valuation in all the acquired territory shall be excluded, until the next withdrawal of territory from the state-aided district to the acquiring district, in determining the assessed valuation of the state-aided district for the purposes of the computations under Sections 15729 to 15733, inclusive. If the percentage of assessed valuation in acquired territory is, in the aggregate, a percentage equal to or greater than 10 percent, the Controller shall, by deducting such percentage from 100 percent, obtain the “complement percentage.” Until the next withdrawal of territory from the state-aided district to the acquiring district, the assessed valuation of the state-aided district for purposes of the computations under Sections 15729 to 15733, inclusive, shall be determined by dividing the current assessed valuation of the state-aided district, as territorially constituted immediately subsequent to the last withdrawal, by the complement percentage. Whenever, pursuant to this section, the assessed valuation of the state-aided district is adjusted for repayment computation purposes by use of the complement percentage, liability for the annual repayment computed shall be apportioned between the state-aided district and the acquiring district by multiplying such annual repayment by the complement percentage, the product representing the liability of the state-aided district, and the remainder of the computed repayment representing the liability of the acquiring district. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the liability of the state-aided district shall not exceed the product of any “complement percentage” (as it may from time to time exist) times the balance due on the final apportionment at the time the complement percentage is established; and the liability of the acquiring district (while a complement percentage remains unchanged) shall not exceed the remainder of the balance of the aforesaid final apportionment at the time the complement percentage is established. The maximum liability on the part of either the state-aided or acquiring districts established as above (and until the time that the liability be altered by altering the “complement percentage”) shall be hereinafter referred to in this section with respect to each district as “the maximum.” (3) In the event that two or more nonstate-aided districts acquire territory from the state-aided district the Controller shall determine the formulae for apportioning liability for the annual repayment between the districts affected (including the formulae for determining what assessed valuations shall be used within the affected districts or territories withdrawn, and the dates of determination thereof) as will in his or her opinion best comply with the principles set forth above, irrespective of whether the formulae are in literal compliance therewith. The same percentage of annual repayment for which a district is liable at the time the liability apportionment is made shall (unless and until the liability apportionment is subsequently changed pursuant to this paragraph) be deemed applicable to the liability of the district for the balance (as of the date the liability apportionment is made) due on the final apportionment to the state-aided district. The liability for the balance shall, with respect to any affected district, be hereinafter referred to as the “maximum” for the district. (4) It is the intent of the Legislature that the foregoing “maximums” shall be applied by the Controller both retroactively and prospectively, provided that as a result of the application (1) no cash refund shall be made to any district; (2) in the event any district has, in the past, paid an amount greater than its “maximum,” assuming this paragraph and others to which it is referable had been in effect at that time, the excess shall be credited by the Controller against any apportionment balances for which the district is or may hereafter become liable; and (3) the Controller shall make retroactively any adjustments in the amounts due from any other district by virtue of any adjustments made under (2) above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any computations required to be made pursuant to this paragraph shall not be reflected in any changes in deductions required to be made pursuant to Section 16080 prior to January 1, 1966. If any subsection, clause, sentence or phrase of this section is for any reason held to be unconstitutional that decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this section. The Legislature hereby declares that it would have adopted this section and each subsection, sentence, clause or phrase thereof irrespective of the fact that any one or more subsections, clauses, sentences, or phrases be declared unconstitutional.

The Legislature hereby declares that it is in the interest of the state and of the people thereof for the state to aid school districts of the state in providing necessary schoolsites and buildings for the pupils of the public school system, this system being a matter of general concern inasmuch as the education of the children of the state is an obligation and function of the state. In adopting this chapter, the Legislature considers that the great need in school construction is for classrooms for the education of the pupils of the public school system. It is the intent of the Legislature to first satisfy this primary need to the greatest extent possible before providing additional educational facilities, regardless of how desirable such additional facilities may be. To the end that school classrooms may be made available at once and to all school districts in need of such classrooms, provisions for other needed school facilities is necessarily subordinated.

In that event, the board may provide for the construction of portable facilities at any particular site for which the apportionments are made, particularly where the board determines that there will be, within a six- to nine-year period immediately following the apportionment for facilities at the site, a diminution in enrollment at the site justifying relocation of facilities. In no event shall the board have any authority to make an apportionment for construction area at a high school attendance center which, when added to the area of adequate school construction at that center, would exceed the area permitted therefor by Sections 16053 and 16054.

The Director of General Services shall file with the county recorder of the county in which any site purchased or improved through the expenditure of funds apportioned under this chapter is located a certificate, properly acknowledged, indicating the state’s interest in real property of the district by virtue of this section, without the necessity of particularizing the real property.

This effect shall commence upon recordation and continue until the certificate is discharged or released as provided herein. Upon request the Director of General Services shall do each of the following: (a) Issue a release of the state’s interest in any real property or a portion thereof that the district has been authorized by the board to dispose of under Section 16105, provided that delivery of the release may be subject to any conditions that may be prescribed by the board to protect the state’s interest. (b) Issue a disclaimer of the state’s interest in any real property or a portion thereof of the district, the disposition of which the board is not required to consent to under the terms of Section 16105, provided that the delivery of the disclaimer may be subject to any conditions that the board deems appropriate to protect the interests of the state, including conditions relating to the amount of consideration to be received from the disposition where the board asserts an interest in the proceeds of the disposition under other provisions of this chapter. The release or disclaimer shall conclusively protect any third party relying upon the same and shall be acknowledged to permit recordation by the county recorder. Upon payment by the district of all amounts required to be paid by it or on its behalf to the state under this chapter each of the following shall occur: (a) The Director of General Services shall file with the recorder a release of any certificate. The release shall be recorded and indexed in the same index as the certificate. (b) The title to personal property purchased by the school district with funds apportioned under this chapter shall revert to the school district without further action by the state.

General Provisions [16000 - 16105] ( Article 1 added by Stats. 1996, Ch. 277, Sec. 2. ) ## 16024. Each school district that desires an apportionment for a grade level maintained by it, shall submit through its governing board to the board an application therefor in the form and number of copies as the board shall prescribe. Each copy of the application shall be accompanied by a statement of the estimated cost of the project certified by an architect or structural engineer, and by layout plans showing the entire construction project for which the district desires an apportionment. Before the board approves an application for a construction project and makes an apportionment pursuant to this chapter, it shall, after consultation with the Department of General Services, establish standards for all new construction included therein. After this consultation the board shall establish current construction cost standards for that construction. The standards shall not exceed typical comparable new construction by school districts in the same area not receiving or eligible for apportionment under this chapter, or if there has been no new construction by school districts in the area, the standards shall not exceed the reasonable current cost of similar construction in the area. The board shall determine these typical current costs or reasonable current costs. In applying those standards the board shall take into account the size and type of the construction proposed and may make deviations as in their judgment are justified. When a standard has been set by the board to cover any individual apportionment, no apportionment shall be made by the board in excess of that standard, unless the board shall find that in view of a rapid increase in building costs an adjustment is warranted. Immediately upon receipt of an application in the prescribed form accompanied by the required estimate of cost, a copy thereof shall be transmitted by the board to the director and to the Director of General Services. A school district shall not let any contract for new construction included in an application for a construction project that has been approved by the board if the cost exceeds the construction cost standards fixed by the board under this section for that new construction. A school district may at any time amend or supplement its application. Each construction project for which a district applies for an apportionment shall be applied for on a separate application and shall be considered separately by the board. If a district applies for more than one construction project, at the same time or at different times, the priority points of the district shall be recalculated after the approval of each separate construction project and before a subsequent construction project is approved. The board shall require the changes in the plans that an applicant school district submits with its application as the board determines is necessary or desirable to reduce the cost of the project. The board may also, by rule, provide for the vesting in the director or in the Director of General Services of the responsibility for requiring those changes, according to whether the subject matter of the change is subject to the jurisdiction or approval of the director or the Director of General Services, respectively. The board may, for good cause as it shall determine, reduce the amount of, or modify any provisions relating to, any contribution required of a school district under the terms of an apportionment, other than any contribution required of the district under Section 16058 from the sale of bonds. However, the board may not, without the consent of the district, increase the amount of any district contribution under the terms of an apportionment, in the absence of mistake arising from any source, or misrepresentation, concealment, or omission, on the part of the district, intentional or otherwise. The provisions of this paragraph shall be applicable to apportionments heretofore or hereafter made. The Director of General Services shall determine the school district’s financial ability to meet all or a portion of the cost of the project and the amount that the school district can contribute toward the cost of the project out of its available funds, and shall submit his or her report thereon to the board. The term “available funds” as used in the preceding paragraph means funds of the district other than funds received by gift or bequest. The director shall, as promptly as possible, prepare a report and recommendation with respect to the application and refer the application, report, and recommendation to the Director of General Services, who shall, if he or she finds the documents to be in proper form and otherwise sufficient, refer them to the board. If the director finds the documents to be lacking in any respect as to any matter that is subject to the jurisdiction or approval of the director or the State Department of Education, or the board of governors, as appropriate to their jurisdiction, he or she shall refer them to the director who shall take action as may be necessary. Subject to this chapter, the board shall approve or reject each application referred to it by the director. If the board approves of the application, either in whole or in part, it shall, by a resolution adopted by it, apportion to the district from the State School Building Aid Fund the amount applied for, or any portion thereof as the board may deem appropriate. However, it may order that the apportionment or any part thereof shall be paid in progressive installments at the time and under the conditions as it may then prescribe.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this chapter, a school district otherwise eligible to receive a conditional apportionment under this chapter may apply for an adjustment of annual repayment obligations in lieu of receiving the conditional apportionment. The board may require any information that is necessary to determine the number of units of estimated average daily attendance for which the district would have been eligible to construct school facilities under this chapter, if the conditional apportionment had been made and had become final. These units shall be known as “eligible attendance units.” The board shall then determine an “eligible facilities cost” by multiplying the number of the eligible attendance units by the average cost of housing elementary or high school pupils as set forth in the latest report to the Legislature required under Section 16098. In any fiscal year in which the school district is in the judgment of the board operating sufficient year-around classes to provide housing for the eligible attendance units aforementioned, the Director of General Services shall add to the amount which he or she is required to certify to the Controller under Sections 16072, 16084, and 16086 an amount equal to one-twentieth of the eligible facilities costs.

(b) Amounts in the general fund of the district which are the proceeds of a tax levy and have not been earmarked by the governing board of the district or the electors of the district for any purposes for which school district bonds may be issued and sold. In considering an application for an apportionment the board may review the purposes for which the district has expended or encumbered proceeds from the sale of district bonds authorized to be issued at an election held on or after September 3, 1952. Upon a finding by the board that any such proceeds have been expended or encumbered for purposes outside the scope and intent of this chapter, the board may require the district to contribute toward the project for which an apportionment is sought from any funds of the district, except those referred to in subdivision (a) above, an amount equal to the amount of district bonds proceeds expended or encumbered for purposes outside the scope and intent of this chapter. Proceeds from the sale of district bonds which have been encumbered or expended for the purchase of schoolbuses authorized by Section 15100 shall be deemed encumbered or expended for purposes outside the scope and intent of this chapter. If a district is required pursuant to this section to make a contribution toward the project for which an apportionment is sought as a result of the purchase prior to January 1, 1967, of schoolbuses authorized by Section 15100 out of proceeds from the sale of district bonds, the district at the time that the board determines that the contribution is required may agree to pay the required contribution by payment into the State School Building Aid Fund by 10 or less annual installments payable without interest over a period not exceeding 10 years after the date of the final apportionment. The first installment shall be due and payable one year after the date of the final apportionment. The installment payments shall be made by the governing board of the district from moneys in the general fund of the district if money is available therefor. If the governing board of the district determines that money is not available in the general fund of the district for such purposes, the maximum rate of school district tax for any school year is hereby increased for any school year by such amount not to exceed the amount of the proposed payment into the State School Building Aid Fund as shown by the budget for such school year as finally adopted by the governing board of the district, less any unencumbered balances remaining at the end of the preceding school year derived from the revenue from the increase in the rate of tax provided by this section.

Before the board approves an application for a furniture or equipment project, or an application for a new construction project, including furniture and equipment, and after consultation with the State Department of Education, it shall establish current furniture and equipment cost standards. Such standards shall not exceed the quantity and quality of furniture and equipment for comparable facilities purchased by school districts not receiving or not eligible for an apportionment under this chapter. Such standards shall consist of equipment costs for each type of classroom or pupil station which represents a differential in costs. The standards shall be reviewed quarterly by the board and adjustments made in accordance with current cost standards. When standards have been adopted by the board, no apportionment shall be made by the board in excess of such standards unless a rapid increase in costs warrants an adjustment. Before the board approves an application for furniture and equipment in connection with an application for the replacement of, reconstruction of, alteration of, or addition to, a school building, the State Department of Education, after full consideration of all the furniture and equipment existing in the applicant district that is in usable condition, shall recommend the amount that shall be approved in the application. The board may approve all or a portion of the amount so recommended. (Repealed and added by Stats. 1996, Ch. 277, Sec. 2. Effective January 1, 1997. Operative January 1, 1998.)
