§ 16321 Sonoma County School Replacement

This law lets leftover money from a 1966 school building bond be used to rebuild schools in Sonoma County that were badly damaged by an earthquake after September 30, 1969, torn down for safety, and not yet replaced.

Key Takeaways

  • •Only applies to schools in Sonoma County damaged after 9/30/69.
  • •Uses leftover funds from the 1966 State School Building Aid Bond.
  • •Money can be spent only if the damaged school was demolished and not yet rebuilt.

Example

A 1971 earthquake cracks the roof of a Sonoma County elementary school. The district decides the building is unsafe and demolishes it. Because there is still unused money from the 1966 school bond, the district can use that money to build a new school on the same site.

The law says the leftover bond money can be spent to replace the demolished, earthquake‑damaged school, as long as a new permanent building hasn't been built yet.
