§ 16325 School Building Aid Apportionment
This law lets the board give money from the State School Building Aid Fund to school districts in pieces, based on which parts of a project are ready, and it can add extra money if the project ends up costing more than expected, but it doesn’t promise any money.
A district asks for $5 million to build a new school wing. The board gives $3 million now because the site is ready, and promises the remaining $2 million later when the rest of the work is ready.
The board can split the money into conditional parts and give each part when the district is ready to move forward. If the total cost later turns out to be $5.5 million, the board can also give an extra $0.5 million even though that goes over the original $5 million request.
Additional Apportionment = Actual Cost – Estimated Cost (when Actual Cost > Estimated Cost)
The board approved an estimated cost of $5,000,000, but the district’s actual cost is $5,500,000.
Result: Additional Apportionment = $5,500,000 – $5,000,000 = $500,000
