§ 16059 School District Project Savings
If a school district gets money from the state for a building project and ends up saving some of that money, it can ask for more state money for other eligible projects, but only up to the amount it saved.
A district receives $5 million to build a new elementary school. The project finishes early and only costs $4.5 million, leaving $500,000 saved (including any interest earned). The district can apply for up to $500,000 more state aid to start building a new library.
Because the district saved $500,000 on the first project, the law lets it ask for extra aid for another facility, but it can’t ask for more than the $500,000 it saved.
