§ 16092 School Funding Certification Deadlines

This law says that if the school board doesn't get the required certificates from the county superintendent within nine months, the temporary funding plan is cancelled, and the board must then send the final funding plan to the state controller for payment.

Key Takeaways

  • •The board has a strict nine‑month deadline to get the superintendent’s certificates.
  • •If the deadline is missed, the conditional funding is automatically cancelled.
  • •All final funding decisions must be certified to the state controller for payment.
  • •Payments come from the State School Building Aid Fund and are exempt from certain other rules.

Example

A school district gets a conditional grant to build a new classroom, but the board forgets to collect the superintendent's certificates within nine months.

Because the certificates weren't received in time, the grant is voided and the district loses that money. The board then has to send the final approved funding amounts to the state controller, who orders the state treasurer to pay the county treasurer from the school building aid fund.

The warrant shall be exempt from the provisions of Division 4 (commencing with Section 16100) of Title 2 of the Government Code and shall be paid by the Treasurer from the State School Building Aid Fund.
