Section 16022 Of Article 1. General Provisions From California Education Code >> Division 1. >> Title 1. >> Part 10. >> Chapter 6. >> Article 1.
16022
. Funds apportioned to a school district under Section 16024
for a project, remaining unencumbered or unexpended one year from the
date the application of the district for apportionment was approved,
shall not be encumbered or expended except as provided in this
section.
The governing board of the district shall notify the board of its
desire to encumber or expend funds. The board shall immediately
request the State Department of Education to, and the department
shall, review the project for which apportionment was made. If the
State Department of Education finds that the conditions existing at
the time it approved the project for which the apportionment was made
have so changed that the needs of the district are less than
originally determined, it shall notify the board of its findings and
of the respects in which the project should accordingly be modified.
The board shall review the project and revise the project in any
manner that it deems necessary subject to Section 16067, and make any
changes in the purposes for which the apportionment may be expended
that it deems necessary. The cost of the project as revised by the
board shall be computed in the manner prescribed by Section 16024 and
the excess, if any, of the amount theretofore apportioned to the
district over the computed cost of the revised project shall be
deducted by the board from the apportionment made to the district.
The board shall give notice of its action, in writing, to the
Controller, the governing board of the district, and the county
auditor and the county treasurer having jurisdiction over the state
school building fund of the district. If the amount of the excess, or
any portion thereof, has not been paid to the district, the excess,
or portion thereof, shall be made available for apportionment to
other districts, if the excess, or portion thereof, has been paid to
the district, it shall not be encumbered or expended by the district
and shall become due and payable to the State of California. The
governing board of the district and the county treasurer shall pay
the amount to the Treasurer, out of the funds, and in the manner
specified in Section 16100. The payment shall, on order of the
Controller, be deposited in the State School Building Aid Fund in the
State Treasury.
It shall be the duty of the governing body and county treasurer to
make the payments to the Treasurer as provided in this section, and
it shall be the duty of the Controller to enforce the collection on
behalf of the state.
This section does not authorize the board to increase any
apportionment made to a school district.
