§ 16282 Local Public Agency Definition

• •This law defines what a 'local public agency' is.
• •It includes cities, counties, school districts, and other local groups that help run public services.
• •These agencies are part of the government but work at a local level, like your city or school.

Your local school district decides to build a new school.

The school district is a 'local public agency' because it’s a government group that works in your area to manage schools.
