§ 16079 Grade Level Repayment Limits

This law says that no matter how many times a school district gets money for a grade level, the total amount they have to pay back in one year can't be more than what they would pay back for just one of those payments.

Key Takeaways

  • •School districts can get money more than once for the same grade level in a year.
  • •The total amount they pay back in a year can't be more than the payback amount for one payment.
  • •This rule is about making sure schools don't have to pay back too much money at once.

Example

A school district gets money from the state three times in one year for the same grade level.

Even though they got money three times, the total amount they have to pay back that year can't be more than what they would pay back for just one of those payments.
