§ 13168 Regional Board Funding Allocation

• •The state gives money to smaller local groups to help them pay for their work.
• •These local groups must send their yearly money plans to the state.
• •The state makes a big money plan every year that includes its own work and the local groups' work.

Imagine your school gives money to different clubs, like the chess club or the art club, to help them buy supplies.

The state does something similar. It gives money to smaller local groups so they can do their jobs. These local groups have to tell the state how they plan to spend the money each year, and the state makes a big plan for all the money it will spend, including what it gives to the local groups.
