§ 16037 Extended Project Apportionments

• •The rule only kicks in when a new funding decision comes more than two years after the original project approval.
• •The board must first require the district to issue extra qualifying bonds.
• •After that, the board can keep giving out money without extra qualification, but only for the next two years.

A school district got approval to build a new gym in 2020. In 2023 the board says more money is needed and tells the district to sell extra bonds. The board can then keep sending the needed money to finish the gym without asking the district for more paperwork, as long as it does this by 2025.

Because the board waited more than two years after the original approval and first required extra bonds, it can now keep funding the project without new qualifications, but only for the next two years.
