§ 16262 Children'S Center Funding Definitions

This law just tells you what certain words mean when the state talks about helping schools build children’s centers.

Key Takeaways

  • •“Local agency” means a school district or county superintendent running a children’s center.
  • •“Board” is the State Allocation Board that decides the money.
  • •“Project” is what the local agency wants to do with the money – buy land, build, or get equipment.
  • •“Construction of facilities” means building permanent structures, even if they lease a portable building.

Example

A county school district asks the state for money to build a new after‑school center.

The law says the district is the “local agency,” the state group that gives out the money is the “Board,” the thing they want to spend the money on (buying land, building the center, buying toys) is the “Project,” and the actual building work, even if they rent a portable classroom, is called “construction of facilities.”
