Education Code·California

AI SummaryVerified

Key Takeaways

•If a school or district doesn't pay their required money on time, they get fined.
•They also have to pay extra money (interest) if they are late with payments.
•The rules for these fines and extra charges are set by the board.

Example

A school district forgets to pay their monthly contribution to the state education fund.

The district will get a fine for being late, and they’ll also have to pay interest on the money they owe, just like when you pay a credit card bill late.
