§ 16572 Project Apportionment Repayment

Key Takeaways

  • •This law is about paying back money given to schools for building projects.
  • •The state calculates how much the school must repay each year based on how many kids attended the school during the project.
  • •The repayment amount depends on two groups of kids: those directly affected by the project and those indirectly affected.
  • •Schools can choose to pay back the money all at once or over fewer than 30 years if the state approves.

Example

A school got money from the state to build new classrooms because a big company moved into the area, bringing more families with kids.

The state will calculate how much the school must repay each year based on how many of these new kids attended the school. If the school got $1,000,000 and the calculation shows they need to repay $30,000 each year, they can choose to pay that amount yearly or ask to pay a lump sum like $500,000 upfront instead.

§ 16572 Project Apportionment Repayment

The principal amount of the apportionment shall be computed and repaid in the manner prescribed in this article. (a) On or before the first day of January succeeding the completion of the state project, the Controller shall compute the annual repayment of each apportionment for each grade level maintained by the district, as follows: (1) He or she shall determine from the certification of the director the total amount of average daily attendance of project children, and the total amount of average daily attendance of indirect project children, in attendance in the grade level maintained by the district for the period commencing with the date of the proclamation of the Governor proclaiming the existence of a state project in the area including the district and ending on June 30th of the fiscal year in which the state project is completed. (2) He or she shall divide the average daily attendance of the project children by 30 and multiply the quotient by the amount determined by the board pursuant to Section 16543 as the average per pupil cost of construction in the area of the state project. (3) He or she shall multiply the average daily attendance of the indirect project children by 55 percent. The product shall be divided by 30 and the quotient multiplied by the amount determined by the board pursuant to Section 16543 as the average per pupil cost of construction in the area of the state project. (4) The total of the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs (2) and (3) shall be subtracted from the amount of the apportionment to the district. The remainder shall be divided by 30 and the quotient shall constitute the amount of the annual repayment of the apportionment. (5) Upon application of the district and approval by the board, the total amount of the repayment may be paid in a lump sum or in fewer than 30 years. (Added by Stats. 1996, Ch. 277, Sec. 2. Effective January 1, 1997. Operative January 1, 1998.)
