§ 16057 School District Construction Reimbursement
This law says a school district can get money for projects that the board approved, but only if the building contract was started within two years before the board got the district’s request, and any work started earlier needs a special board vote.
A school district wants to build a new science lab. The board approves the lab in its budget and the district signs a construction contract three months later. The district then asks the state for payment.
Because the contract was let less than two years before the board got the request, the district can be paid for the lab costs. If the district had started building the lab before the board even saw the request, the board would have to pass a special resolution to allow payment.
