§ 16330 School Building Aid Calculation
This rule tells a school district how to figure out what share of a building project the state will pay, using a simple math formula based on how the district’s property value per student compares to the state’s average.
A small district wants to add a new classroom. The state will help pay for it, but the amount depends on how rich the district is compared to the whole state.
First the district looks at how much property value there is for each student and compares it to the state average. That comparison goes into a formula that gives a percentage. The state then pays that percentage of the total project cost, as long as it falls between 25% and 80% of the cost.
(4 - R) ÷ (4 + R) where R = (District assessed valuation per pupil) ÷ (Statewide assessed valuation per pupil)
District has $10,000 of assessed value per student; the state average is $20,000 per student. The project will cost $100,000.
Result: The state will pay 77.8% of $100,000, which is $77,800. This is allowed because it is between 25% and 80% of the cost.
