§ 15744 School Funding Certification Deadlines

This law says that if the school board doesn't get the right papers from the county superintendent within nine months, they cancel the money they promised for school buildings. If everything is okay, the money gets sent to the county to build or fix schools.

Key Takeaways

  • •The school board promises money for school buildings, but it’s not final until the right papers are sent.
  • •If the papers aren’t sent within nine months, the money promise is canceled.
  • •If the papers are sent on time, the money goes to the county to build or fix schools.

Example

A school district wants money to build a new school.

The school board promises to give them money, but the district has to send the right papers within nine months. If they don’t, the money promise is canceled. If they do, the money gets sent to the county to build the school.
