§ 16068 Federal School Construction Reimbursement
If a school district gets state money for building schools and later receives federal money to pay back some of those costs, the district has to increase its next yearly repayment to the state by the amount of the federal money, unless the federal money is a proper contribution used for the same project.
A district receives $1,000,000 from the state to build a new elementary school. After the school is built, the federal government reimburses the district $150,000 for part of the construction costs.
Because the district got federal reimbursement, its next annual repayment to the state will go up by $150,000, unless that $150,000 was a grant meant to be part of the same construction project and was spent exactly as the state money was meant to be used. In that case, the repayment would not increase.
