§ 15794 State School Fund Repayment

This law tells the Controller to figure out how much each state‑aided school district has to pay back to the state each year and then take that amount out of the money the state gives them.

Key Takeaways

•The Controller does the math for each district every year.
•Any money a district owes the state is taken out of the school‑fund payments it would otherwise get.
•The calculation follows the rules set out in Sections 15791‑15793.

Example

A school district receives $100,000 from the State School Fund, but it owes $20,000 back to the state for previous funding.

The Controller will subtract the $20,000 repayment from the $100,000 apportionment, so the district actually gets $80,000.

How to Calculate

Amount to deduct = Portion of the apportionment for which the district is liable (as determined by Sections 15791‑15793)

Use Sections 15791, 15792, and 15793 to find the total repayment the district owes for the year.
Look up the apportionment amount the district is scheduled to receive from the State School Fund.
Subtract the repayment amount from the apportionment amount. The result is the net amount the district actually receives.

District X is owed $20,000 for the year and is scheduled to receive $100,000 from the State School Fund.

Result: Net amount received = A – R = $100,000 – $20,000 = $80,000

The Controller shall compute, in accordance with Sections 15791, 15792, and 15793, the amount of the annual repayment due the state on account of the apportionment or apportionments to each state-aided district and shall deduct from the respective apportionments made from the State School Fund under Sections 46304, 46305, and 92 or 41050, Sections 41330 to 41343, inclusive, and Sections 41600 to 41972, inclusive, to the state-aided district and an acquiring district the portion thereof for which each is liable under this article.
