§ 1606 Federal Land School Funding

This law lets the county superintendent, with the school board’s okay, split money from the county school fund to any school district that has land bought by the United States.

Key Takeaways

  • •Money goes into the county school service fund first.
  • •The county superintendent can decide how to share that money.
  • •The county board of education must approve the sharing.
  • •Only districts that contain land bought by the United States can receive the money.

Example

A school district includes a former army base that the federal government now owns.

Because the district has land the U.S. bought, the superintendent can give part of the county school fund money to that district, after the board agrees.
