Section 16252 Of Article 6. School Housing Aid For A Regional Occupational Center From California Education Code >> Division 1. >> Title 1. >> Part 10. >> Chapter 6. >> Article 6.

. It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this article to finance the capital expenditures involved in the construction, equipping, and establishment, to serve an area in great need of occupational preparation, of a regional occupational center school to be maintained by a Joint Powers Board of Education and entity. It is the further intent of the Legislature to improve the employment opportunities of persons residing in areas of need for the training, by providing educational programs of a nature that will serve the social and economic needs of that area. The program will also serve to upgrade the cultural and intellectual as well as the economic life of the area to be served. The Legislature finds that the federal government has made available in the south bay area of Los Angeles County land to be used for a regional occupation center school, provided a permanent campus can be established on the land within 18 months. For this reason, it is essential that the money made available for purposes of this article be allocated to the establishment of a permanent campus for a regional occupational center school in the south bay area of Los Angeles County.
