§ 16018 School Facility Offsite Improvements

This law lets the state give money to school districts for building, fixing, or adding off‑site things like utilities or other improvements that the school board says are needed for the schools to work properly, and treats those projects as public works.

Key Takeaways

  • •Apportionments can be used for off‑site facilities, utilities, or improvements needed for schools.
  • •The school board decides what is necessary for the schools to operate.
  • •All such projects are considered public works.

Example

A school district wants to build a new water pipe to a new elementary school that is located on a separate piece of land from the main campus.

Because the board says the water pipe is needed for the school to run, the state can give money for the pipe, and the project counts as a public‑works job under this law.
