§ 16165 State School Fund Repayment

This law tells the Controller how to figure out the yearly repayment each school district owes the state and then take that amount out of the money the state gives to the district.

Key Takeaways

  • •The Controller must calculate each district’s yearly repayment using the rules in §§ 16161, 16163, and 16164.
  • •The repayment amount is taken out of the money the state already gave to the district.
  • •Only the portion the district owes is deducted; the rest of the grant stays with the district.

Example

A school district receives $1,000,000 from the State School Fund, but the Controller calculates that the district must repay $100,000 for the year.

The Controller will subtract the $100,000 repayment from the $1,000,000 grant, so the district actually gets $900,000 to use.

How to Calculate

Annual Repayment = amount computed according to §§ 16161, 16163, and 16164 (the law’s own calculation method).

  1. Find the total apportionment (money) the state gave to the district under the listed sections.
  2. Use the method described in §§ 16161, 16163, and 16164 to calculate the district’s repayment amount.
  3. Subtract the repayment amount from the total apportionment to get the net amount the district receives.

District gets $1,000,000 from the State School Fund and the repayment calculation (per §§ 16161‑16164) says it owes $100,000.

Result: Net amount to district = $1,000,000 – $100,000 = $900,000
